R+D

AITEX presents R+D projects in this field to develop new materials aimed at different applications via the REFORMAT and HONEYTEX projects.

The NATURALFUN project has led to a fifty percent drop in the carbon footprint of the dyeing process.

E-BRODER 3 has closed. The project was carrying out research into the use of embroidery technology in domotic applications.

The CRE@CTIVE project, whose core objective is to drive creative innovation in articles produced by textile, footwear and leather manufacturers has now begun.

AITEX organizes the 6th meeting of VESTLIFE project (Ultralight modular bullet proof integral solution for dismounted soldier protection) where the promising partial results in the development of new ballistic protection panels.

Building energy efficiency is one of the main requirements for sustainability in new construction. Solar protection devices are systems designed to control and make optimum use of solar radiation to increase both thermal and visual comfort.

AITEX devotes some of its R&D lines to developing hybrid electronic solutions and advanced technologies in the design process, through the execution of the HYBRID and INTECDI projects.

The European project MY-FY: Re-inventing the textile industry with advanced myco-fibres, has begun. The project focuses on creating non-wovens from mycelium fibres that will offer enhanced performance and a reduced environmental impact.

With an eye to the challenges that Industry 4.0 and digitisation represent for the private sector, the DigiTVC project focuses on supporting SMEs by diagnosing the digitisation of their processes and the introduction of three pilot schemes with textile companies and technological start-ups.

In order to contribute to the circular economy, sustainability and eco technologies, AITEX focuses some of its research on research into the revaluation of textile waste.
