TEXINTEL Live Interview with STRATASYS
In a recent discussion at the Techtextil/Texprocess exhibition (Frankfurt) Debbie McKeegan, the CEO of Texintel, welcomed Stratasys, the worlds’ largest 3D printing company. Together they explore Stratasys 3D printing technology and its potential impact on the textile industry. Stratasys' 3D printing technology, signals a significant shift in the textile industry's future, from manufacturing processes to the very definition of what textiles can achieve.
Key Takeaways:
1. Ink Integration: Stratasys' technology transcends traditional printing, enabling the infusion of inks deep within the fabric. This not only ensures durability but also maintains the fabric's innate texture, presenting an advancement in how textiles can carry colour and design.
2. Precision Control: The ability to control the depth of ink penetration showcases a significant leap in customizability, allowing for intricate designs on either side of the fabric. This precision fosters unprecedented opportunities in textile design and application.
3. Advanced Aesthetics: The introduction of volumetric and lenticular effects through 3D printing technology marks a revolutionary step in fabric design. It offers a multidimensional aspect to textiles, broadening the scope for innovation in visual appeal and tactile experience.
4. Application Diversity: While initially aimed at enhancing aesthetic appeal within the fashion sector, the technology's flexibility indicates vast potential across various industries, including automotive interiors, medical fabrics, and smart textiles. This versatility underscores the technology's capacity to revolutionize not just design but functionality as well.
5. Functional Enhancement: Beyond aesthetics, the embedded 3D elements can be engineered to add unique functionalities to textiles, ranging from improved structural integrity to the incorporation of smart technologies. This aspect could redefine textile utility, opening new avenues for integrated wearable technology and responsive fabric structures.
