OptiTex launches fabric testing utility

摘要

OptiTex has launched its Fabric Testing Utility (FTU), designed to recreate the dynamics of fabric movement on fully adjustable, lifelike virtual mannequins.rnOptiTex's FTU is a lightweight, briefcase-sized device that accurately measures the four principal types of fabric strain: bend, stretch, shear and friction, according to the company. The machine has an automated repeat function to validate the measurements. Ran Machtinger, president and CEO of OptiTex said: "Our new FTU allows users to test fabrics in house rather than use a costly, time-consuming external service."
