Clemson University, South Carolina (USA) recently invested in a 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗹 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘅 𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 to enable hands-on education, prototyping, and applied research in advanced materials and textile engineering. 🎓 One of the first showcase projects with the Ultimax was the 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗯𝗼𝗻 that was used for the official opening of the university’s new Advanced Materials Innovation Complex (AMIC). 🎊
The fabric itself represented a real technical challenge as the Ultimax weaving machine 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗺𝗶𝘅 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗮𝗿𝗻𝘀. 🧵 This underlines the fact that Clemson Textiles, part of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), now has the right equipment to combine not only high-speed premium textile production but also technical and highly complex weaving applications.
At Picanol, we are proud to see our Ultimax technology further 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆, where future engineers and researchers are able to gain hands-on experience with advanced weaving technology while pushing the boundaries of innovation. 👏
