We wish to develop the next generation of our POC non-woven, all-direction stretchable, polymer cloth fabric, significantly increasing its strength and robustness to bring to the market. The research is driven by latent demand from global brands in activewear market where there is growing demand for unique non-woven meshes, fabrics and designs not possible through traditional manufacturing techniques. Current leading 3D printed fabrics, including our own, are forced to compromise between the drape and flexibility of the polymer fabric and the weight, thickness and strength of it. In order to meet the demands of the activewear market, we aim to develop a new non-woven polymer fabric, utilising our Cosyflex technology with new polymer compounds to create a fabric 15x stronger than current technology. This will be supported by the development of a multi-directional electrostatic flocking technology, enabling different thicknesses, strength and polymers to be applied to different parts of a garment. The development of the technology will immediately open up the activewear and footwear markets to us – we expect to generate £1.5m t/o Y1 -> £9m t/o by Y5, 70% of which is exports, enabling us to become a world leader in the 3D printed textile market.

我们希望开发下一代的POC无纺、全方向可拉伸的聚合物布料，显著提高其强度和耐用性，以推向市场。这项研究是由全球品牌在运动服市场的潜在需求推动的，该市场对独特的非织造网布，面料和设计的需求不断增长，而传统的制造技术是不可能的。目前领先的3D打印面料，包括我们自己的面料，都被迫在聚合物面料的悬垂性和柔韧性与其重量、厚度和强度之间做出妥协。为了满足运动服市场的需求，我们的目标是开发一种新的非织造聚合物面料，利用我们的Cosyflex技术和新的聚合物化合物，创造出比现有技术强15倍的面料。这将得到多方向静电植绒技术的发展的支持，使不同的厚度，强度和聚合物适用于服装的不同部分。该技术的发展将立即向我们开放运动服和鞋类市场-我们预计到Y1年将产生150万英镑的收入-到Y 5年将达到900万英镑，其中70%是出口，使我们成为3D打印纺织品市场的世界领导者。
