An advanced fabric testing device that captures essential parameters like bending, stretch (extention), and thickness, allowing realistic fabric behaviour in 3D fashion design software. The Fabric analyzer is part of the Physical-Digital Textiles Lab Contact person: Tetiana Yeromina

A set of instruments designed to measure fabric thickness, stiffness, shrinkage, and other properties critical for tailoring and garment performance. The results can be integrated into Lectra Modaris 3D prototyping software to enable accurate fabric simulation and enhance virtual garment design FAST is part of the Physical-Digital Textiles Lab Contact person: Tetiana Yeromina

Analyzes the drape quality of fabrics by measuring how they fold, hang, or conform to shapes, providing insights into their suitability for garment design The drape meter is part of the Physical-Digital Textiles Lab Contact person: Tetiana Yeromina

Trufade evaluates fabric durability and colourfastness to sunlight by exposing it to simulated UV light. It also supports weathering tests, assessing fabric performance under various environmental conditions such as sunlight, heat, and humidity. Trufade is part of the AMFI Textiles quality testing lab Contact person: Tetiana Yeromina

Assesses the abrasion and wear resistance of fabrics by subjecting them to controlled rubbing, replicating long-term usage and wear conditions. The Martindale tester is part of the AMFI Textiles quality testing lab Contact person: Tetiana Yeromina

A washing fastness tester evaluates how well fabric colours resist fading or bleeding during laundering or wet treatments. The Gyrowash is part of the AMFI Textiles quality testing lab contact person: Tetiana Yeromina
