Smart Textile Prototyping & Validation

Validate design and performance before moving to production.

Smart Textile Prototyping AQ-Tech

Fast, reliable and production-ready prototyping

Prototyping is a key step to validate usability, performance and the integration of Smart Textile technologies before entering pre-series or production. Our prototypes allow rapid testing of mechanical, textile and electronic design as well as interaction with the human body.

At AQ-Tech, we develop complete instrumented textile prototypes: sensors, actuators, embedded electronics, connectors, multi-material textile structures and assemblies.

Each prototype is designed to be reliable, reproducible and industry-oriented, while enabling fast iteration based on your test feedback.

FAQ — Smart Textile Prototyping & Wearable Devices

What is the purpose of Smart Textile prototyping?

Prototyping validates textile architecture, sensor integration and associated electronics before more complex and costly industrialization steps.

Do you create wearable, testable prototypes?

Yes, we develop real garments or accessories with integrated electronics, ready for field testing (comfort, measurement, washing, robustness, real-life use).

How many iterations are typically required?

Depending on complexity, 2 to 4 prototyping loops are usually needed to converge on a version validated both technically and ergonomically.

Can you support industrialization afterwards?

Yes. Once the prototype is validated, we prepare the pre-series (process, technical files, tooling) and support full-scale production with your partners or ours.
