Facilities
The three NewTexEco UAs’s – ArtEZ, Saxion and HvA – have workshops and labs that are important for our research. These include traditional and modern machines for various textile operations (weaving, knitting, etc.), but also 3D scanning equipment, for example.
In time, we want to make these labs accessible to students, teachers, researchers and partners of NewTexEco. This is not yet the case.
This section is still under development. Not all workshops, lab facilities and equipment are already listed here.
For more information or questions about accessibility, please contact lab coordinator Leslie Eisinger.
CCI Evergreen Sample loom
The CCI Evergreen loom is suitable for weaving textile samples on a small scale (50x200cm). The machine can use up to 20 shafts to weave more complex patterns. Contact: textiellab@saxion.nl
Chemical Recycling Lab
The Circular Textile Lab of NewTexEco partner Saxion was set up with six Overijssel frontrunners in the field of textiles. In this, the whole chain is represented: from textile collection to processing and making new end products for the market. The lab allows partners to explore innovations for recycling old clothes on a larger scale. […]
CLO3D Fabric Kit
This is a set of test equipment to test the strength, thickness and flexure of textiles. This is to properly simulate the representation of the material in CLO3D software. Contact person: Tetiana Yeromina
Fritsch Pulverisette 25
Device for pulp analysis. For reducing sample material max. 120 x 65 mm to 0.2 – 6 mm. Milling samples down to small sizes (8, 4, 2 and 1 mm) allows better dissolution and analysis of textiles. This is done in preparation for the XRF, Viscometer, SEC, muffle furnace and wet spin line. Contact: textiellab@saxion.nl
Orbiter
The Orbiter is a Pilling & Snagging tester: a consistent and reliable way to test the pilling and snagging properties of woven and knitted fabrics. Contact person: Tetiana Yeromina
Physical-Digital Textiles Lab
This lab focuses on integrating physical textiles with digital innovations. It develops new materials and production processes that combine traditional textile craftsmanship with digital technology. The lab aims to create advanced textiles that incorporate digital features, enhancing both their aesthetic and functional qualities. Examples of available devices in this lab are: Titan tensile testerCLO3D Fabric […]
