Competency Center “Technical Textiles”
In addition to the publicly sponsored projects, numerous bilateral research projects are conducted at the Institute for Textile Machinery and High Performance Material Technology (ITM). These projects are directly financed by the industry and the results obtained from these projects are protected under confidentiality agreements. These projects include the full spectrum of the process chain of textile and ready-made technology available at the ITM, for example:
- Textile engineering developments and machine construction and their implementation as prototypes.
- Mechanical engineering solutions for technical textiles, particularly reinforcement textiles for lightweight construction and concrete reinforcement, medical textiles, textiles for automobiles, as well as protective textiles.
- Process innovation and new machine designs in addition to mechatronic solutions for textile and high-precision ready-made production machines.
- Designing textile and ready-made production machines to meet the required demands, and the modeling and simulation of processes.
- Modeling and simulation of machine components and devices.
- Experimental studies on machines and the development of application specific sensors and measuring systems.
- Modeling and simulation of textile stock and textile end products.
- Development, production and testing of innovative textile products (e.g. samples and limited-lot production).
- Conducting physical and chemical tests on textiles.
- Conducting preliminary studies and full studies on textile specific topics.
- Conducting trend and feasibility studies.
- CAE-training courses for application in the textile and ready-made technology branches.
- Continuing education programs over the entire value added chain for textile products.
- Expert opinion reports.
