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.
Washing and drying machines
Specialized equipment is designed to test the dimensional stability of fabrics after washing and drying, ensuring they maintain their size and shape. These machines can also evaluate fabric durability, colourfastness, and texture changes under realistic laundering conditions, replicating consumer use. The washing and drying machine are part of the AMFI textile quality test lab Contact […]
AMFI textile quality test lab
This lab focuses on quality testing for textiles The following textile quality testing equipment can be found here: CrockmeterFixotestGyrowashMartindale testerOrbiterProView Universal Assessment ViewerTRUFADELight cabinet VeriVideWashing and drying machinesWrinkle recovery tester
Crockmeter
A device that measures the colorfastness of fabrics by determining how much dye rubs off onto other surfaces through rubbing. It evaluates both dry and wet conditions to simulate real-life scenarios and also monitors any colour change on the tested fabric itself. The crockmeter is part of the AMFI textile quality test lab Contact person: […]
Wrinkle recovery tester
Determines a fabric’s ability to recover from wrinkles by evaluating how well it returns to its original state after creasing. This tester is part of the AMFI textile quality test lab Contact person: Tetiana Yeromina
ProView Universal Assessment Viewer
An advanced imaging system that provides detailed visual analysis of fabric wear, abrasion, and surface changes during testing.This viewer is part of the AMFI textile quality test lab Contact person: Tetiana Yeromina
Fixotest
A tool designed to test the colorfastness of textiles to hot pressing. It simulates the high temperatures applied during garment care, assessing how well the fabric maintains its color and appearance under heat exposure. The fixotest is part of the AMFI textile quality test lab
