3D embroidery is a special type of embroidery that uses a foam material – also referred to as "puff foam" – to create a three-dimensional effect.
During the embroidery process, the needle enters deeply into the foam, putting significant strain on the embroidery thread. The new Groz-Beckert DBxK5 LGR needle was specifically developed for 3D embroidery.
It provides optimal protection for the embroidery thread and helps prevent thread breakage and skipped stitches.

What is 3D embroidery?
 

In standard embroidery (also referred to as flat or 2D embroidery), the design is stitched directly onto the surface of the fabric, resulting in a flat finish. In contrast, 3D embroidery creates raised, three-dimensional designs.

To achieve this effect, a foam material is placed on the surface of the fabric and stitched over with thread. The motif sits on top of the foam, creating the characteristic 3D appearance. At the end of the embroidery process, the excess foam is removed.

The needle enters deeply into the foam, causing the thread to become trapped between the needle and the foam.
