OptiTex Develops Fabric Tester
CAD/CAM product supplier OptiTex will soon release a fabric-testing utility designed to simulate fabric movement on fully adjustable virtual mannequins.
Company President Ran Machtinger said the device should save its customers thousands of dollars.
“Now, OptiTex users can test fabrics in-house rather than use a costly, time-consuming external service,” he said.
The unit is a lightweight, briefcase-sized device that measures bend, stretch, shear and friction points of fabric. The machine has an automated repeat function to validate the measurements.
