Kurzbeschreibung

Multi-Material Additive Manufacturing on Textiles through Modular Tool Integration

Beschreibung

We investigate the use of advanced additive manufacturing techniques to improve textile functionality. By integrating multiple processes, we enable the precise application of functionalities onto textiles, such as electrical conductivity, photochromic effects, and thermochromic behaviour. Direct printing on porous and flexible textiles presents a challenge. To address this, we use a multifunctional handling table with interchangeable tools for automated, high-precision production. Our method offers applications such as wearable fabrics with sensors, heating elements, and electronic interfaces. By digitally integrating textile and non-textile processes, we increase efficiency and precision. Defect identification and repair with lasers and conductive adhesives, roll-to-roll processing for seamless integration, and functional powder printing by laser sintering are among the key advancements. Our technique cuts costs, increases quality, and speeds up manufacturing.

Join us to discover how Additive Manufacturing is shaping the future of smart textiles!
