The Textile Technology Group of the University Twente is researching
production processes used, hopefully within 15 years.15
The students of the Technical University Eindhoven can spend two years (or
even more if it seems to become really new) with one meter of fiber as end
result. Also the commercial companies like Ten Cate can have their fabrics
in collection for five or more years with a minimum of change in looks or
quality. Receiving the fabrics I needed to produce the prototypes for Ten
Cate took over two months. This is a difference in work ethics. It is hard to change, but you have to know it before a collaboration can start without ending in a disappointment. [<<] |
