- + Concept research and feasibility validation
- + Mock-ups and quick tests before detailed design
Material Selection
A complete material library to design reliable and high-performance products.
- + Selection of fibers, fabrics, coatings, and technical membranes
- + Mechanical studies: traction, elongation, abrasion, waterproofing
- + Durability, aging, and washing resistance tests
- + Optimization of comfort, breathability, and recyclability
Component & Hybrid Structure Integration
Designing assemblies combining textile, electronics, and rigid structures.
- + Integration of sensors, connectors, or boards into flexible textiles
- + Textile + plastic, foam, machined or 3D printed parts assembly
- + Mechatronic studies: endurance, flexibility, tensile resistance
- + Ergonomic validation and product lifecycle testing
Assembly Processes
Advanced manufacturing methods to meet each technical requirement.
- + Sewing, heat-sealing, HF and ultrasonic welding

Frequently Asked Questions About Technical Textiles
What types of textiles do you work with?
We work with a wide range of technical fabrics: polyester, aramid, TPU, PVC, silicone, conductive, or composite materials — chosen according to the project’s mechanical and environmental constraints.
Do you manufacture textile prototypes?
Yes, our workshops produce textile prototypes and pre-series using sewing, HF welding, and laser cutting — allowing performance and ergonomics to be validated before industrialization.
Can you integrate electronics into textiles?
Absolutely. We master textile-electronics integration through our Smart Textile division, combining flexible materials and embedded components.
Do you provide custom inflatable structures?
Yes, our expertise in inflatable textiles enables us to design flexible, airtight, and durable structures adapted to various applications.
Do you support production stages?
Yes, we produce internal pre-series and then transfer production to our qualified textile manufacturing partners in France or abroad.
