The Textiles Industry is Changing<\/h2>\n

Many of our customers purchased an automated fabric cutting machine from Autometrix because they need to be able to cut anything \u2013 leather, carbon fiber, stretchy polyester panels. As smart textiles make the transition from space age fantasy to practical everyday usage, a textile cutting table that can handle anything will become invaluable. <\/span><\/p>\n

Smart Textiles Industry is Growing<\/b><\/h3>\n

The sports, automotive, defense, aerospace, medical, and emergency services sectors are all are fueling the demand for innovative, lightweight, durable fabrics. According to a new study from Market Research Future, the market for smart textiles in these industries has been increasing, and is expected to continue to grow over the next four years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Textiles Can Keep Emergency Responders Safer<\/b><\/h3>\n

A few different trends are fueling this industry growth. Worker safety is a big one. A new report from Fact.MR tells us that increasing awareness about worker safety in high-risk industries will grow the market for flame retardant apparel by 6.2% year over year in 2019. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate\u2019s (S&T) is researching textiles that could be used for more durable, comfortable, and flexible gloves for first responders. They are also collaborating with a private manufacturer to develop textiles and clothing that provides better protection against the specific threats that first responders encounter: fluid-resistant textile treatment to repel water, chemicals and bodily fluids; antimicrobial textile treatment to protect against a range\u00a0<\/span>of bacteria and pathogens; a flame-resistant textile layer; a chemical protective membrane; and rip\/tear protection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Biotextiles Mimic Human Tissue<\/b><\/h3>\n

In the healthcare industry, new advances in medical technology will spur growth in the market for smart textiles, according to a different report from Market Research Future. Healthcare facilities will use smart fabrics for everything from patient health monitoring, to patient protection and patient safety. Researchers at universities in Canada, Japan, and Switzerland are investigating the use of color-change technology in smart wound dressings. In other parts of the world, researchers are developing bio-textiles that can be implanted in the body to treat scoliosis, bone damage, cardiovascular disease, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n
