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.
Mechanical recycling lab
The circular textile laboratory (CTL) was developed as part of the regional deal ‘Circular Textile Twente’. It is equipped to research both chemical and mechanical recycling. In this part of the CTL we conduct research into spinning yarns and the reuse of both mechanically and chemically recycled fibers. We can also determine the relevant functions […]

Finishing
In order to optimize the functionalities of textiles, finishes (including color) and coatings can be applied to textiles in the Saxion labs, using conventional (pulling and continuous processes) and modern techniques (printing.)

Fabric Analysis
We can examine the quality of textiles in our chemical and mechanical (physical) quality laboratory. The mechanical lab offers an extensive range of options for the precise measurement of various textile properties. These capabilities include assessments of fabric thickness, weight, tear resistance and abrasion resistance. In addition, the laboratory offers the possibility of objective and […]
