CAE Laboratory

The CAE laboratory possesses versatile software for product development of clothing and technical textiles. For design as well as for the constructive realization of drafts, modern 2D and 3D software solutions are available for research and training. The theoretical basics are enlarged in extensive practical courses which provide the students with applicable knowledge.
