Experience textile production!
A polo shirt within the hour, demonstrated live from start to finish: from the 3D design to a finished product
The digitally networked “Digital Textile Micro Factory” production line was coordinated by the German Institutes for Textile and Fibre Research (DITF), in cooperation with renowned partners. In addition to the Albstadt-Sigmaringen University and TH Köln, University of Applied Sciences, manufacturers and retailers such as Assyst, Caddon, HP, Multi-Plot Europe, Schöller Textil, Rebstock Consulting and Zünd Systemtechnik, among others, presented their software and hardware solutions, along with materials and know-how, in order to demonstrate this innovative production approach.

Using 3D simulation, the design is prepared for cutting and assembly. For this purpose, identifying QR codes as well as position markers for later position recognition are integrated into the production order. These steps are implemented by Assyst GmbH and the university of applied sciences Albstadt-Sigmaringen.
Using QR codes, the job is recognized by camera. Printed registration marks enable automated and exact position recognition. The textile is then cut fully automatically according to the selected application parameters on digital flatbed systems from Zünd Systemtechnik AG. This area is implemented by our sales partner Rebstock Consulting GmbH & Co. KG.
