Weaving platform
Weaving Platform
CETI’s Weaving platform provides industrial players with pilot and pre-industrial capabilities to develop, validate and characterise woven textile structures.
“The platform enables the transformation of yarns into fabrics under controlled conditions, supporting both textile prototyping and the validation of yarn processability for weaving applications.
Designed for applied R&D and industrial validation, this platform supports the development of woven fabrics aligned with performance, quality and industrial constraints.”
Applications & industrial use cases
The Weaving platform supports a wide range of industrial development and validation activities.
Prototyping of woven fabrics with controlled construction and architecture
Validation of yarn processability for weaving applications
Assessment of yarn behaviour during warping and weaving operations
Development of woven structures adapted to technical or functional requirements
Production of representative woven fabrics for testing and pre-industrial validation
Support for scale-up and industrial weaving feasibility studies
How CETI uses this platform
CETI uses this platform to carry out technical developments and validation work on woven textile structures.
It enables verification of yarn suitability for weaving, including yarns developed on the Yarn Spinning platform.
The platform is used to produce woven fabric samples for prototyping, testing and pre-industrial validation.
Activities are conducted by expert teams with strong know-how in yarns, fabric construction and textile processes.
The platform supports a wide range of technical services within CETI’s service offerings.
Looking to develop, validate or scale up a textile solution? CETI teams are available to discuss your project and identify the most relevant technical approach.
Warping & weaving capabilities
The Weaving platform integrates dedicated preparation and weaving capabilities enabling controlled fabric development.
Warp preparation:
Warping to prepare warp threads from a single spool of yarn
Weaving:
24-frame loom
Working width: 500 mm
These capabilities enable CETI to control weaving parameters and fabric construction while maintaining flexibility for development and validation work.
