Fabdesigns has been researching composite textiles since 1988 and currently develops confidential intellectual property in the United States for internationally renowned clients in the fields of outdoor sports, medical, aerospace, furniture, entertainment and footwear. The company has successfully developed and validated wearable technology, interactive textiles and fully integrated materials, and is now exploring how to address practical issues such as functionality while maintaining aesthetics.

Fabdesigns drives innovation in the textile field in response to customer needs and introduces a knitting machine, the Stoll ADF3 flat knitting machine. They say the company is already researching and designing some of the most advanced integrated textiles to date. These textiles feature novel fibers or technologies, including conductive fibers, combinations of machine and transverse weft insertion, advanced pad technology, integrated network systems, electronically distributed ultra-high modulus polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers for guards etc.

Bruce Huffa, head of the company, said: "With the direct yarn guide, we can more easily embed components, integrate sensors, and set up suspension supports. The technology of this machine does not just process yarn, it also helps us Smart textiles are created. The yarn is fed into the feeder tube, and then a complex network can be built on this machine for the development of high-performance materials. Simply put, this machine helps us to achieve verticality to the fabric , level, thickness and slope control. At present, three-dimensional knitting technology is very popular in the textile industry, but this machine can achieve more dimensional control of textiles. The new yarn distribution system in the machine can make the fabric every The tightness of the course is electronically controlled, and we are working hard to control the trajectory of each needle. Although there is still a lot of work to be done, for medical compression devices and aerospace customers who use new fiber processing products That would be an incredible technology. For example, it would be possible to electronically control and adjust the pressure on the feet of people with diabetes, and make functional wound care and healing products."
