OptiTex Introduces Fabric Testing Utility
OptiTex is about to release its Fabric Testing Utility (FTU). The FTU was designed to further advance the OptiTex system’s ability to recreate the dynamics of fabric movement on fully adjustable, lifelike virtual mannequins.
“Our new FTU is a remarkable tool in that it not only enhances our industry-leading technology, it also saves our customers thousands of dollars in the long run,” states Ran Machtinger, President and CEO of OptiTex, Ltd. “Now, OptiTex users can test fabrics in house rather than use a costly, time-consuming external service.”
OptiTex’s FTU is a lightweight, briefcase-sized device that accurately measures the four principal types of fabric strain: Bend, stretch, shear and friction. The machine has an automated repeat function to validate the measurements. As with all OptiTex products, the FTU was designed to provide the user-friendly experience that OptiTex customers have come to expect.
