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.
Prototyping facilities
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. […]
