•Companies & pitfalls listed [<<]
	DynaFoam.nl_TechProducer economical = it was an expensive project | no synchronization in digital programs (measurements)=arrogance of the ‘big’ companies.
	EcoTex.nl_TextileCompany not an even balance, she gave me materials, I took them | we didn’t produce something really new, it wasn’t innovative.
	Hero.de__TextileCompany they supplied thread, I could use Kwintet KLM as intermediary, so collaboration wasn’t difficult.
	HKU.nl_DesignEducation more or less designers | I had to contact technicians to solve problems, this took much time and still it isn’t perfect | not that high renewed technology | too many people are responsible, this delays innovation in education
	Kwintet.nl_ClothingCompany easy collaboration | not very innovative
	Philips.com_TechCompany secret inside information makes collaboration risky for them | time was an issue
	PrintUnlimited.nl_TextileCompany very nice collaboration | Print Unlimited has much experience working with fashion designers | while they are technicians, they know the language, ideas and questions of designers.
	Stork.com_TechCompany a lack of trust in students to give inside info | time | seeing no relevance in collaboration.
	TenCate.com_TechTextiles collaboration was difficult | conservative company | it was hard for them to think out-of-the box, so first they reacted reserved on my ideas, but after some time they became enthusiast | made promises, but couldn’t fulfill it | communication was difficult because they thought in their company profile/concept that I don’t know | afraid to mesh their reputation when going experimental
	TNO.nl_TechLaboratory the lack of short time economical profit
	TUDelft.nl_TechEducation the lack of time was a pity | communication wasn’t difficult because I used an intermediary (Sonja van Grinsven) she is educated as Industrial Designer on the university, that’s why she knows both, the technical and designer language.
	UTwente.nl__TechEducation Utwente didn’t had materials available which could be used in design projects | There development processes are way before commercial release. (about 15 years)
	TUeindhoven.nl__TechEducation total miscommunication, I, as designer, didn’t understand anything of his language. He, as technical professor and educator, didn’t understand anything of my questions and asks out of the fashion scene and academically education | a big difference in experiencing time.
