Workshops for Embroidered E- & Smart Textiles
automotive, sports, leisure, gaming, textile, embroidery, wearables, health, e-textiles, smart textiles, high-tech
Are you interested in exploring the exciting world of smart textiles, but not sure where to begin? Our workshops are designed to guide you through the process of creating your own electronic textiles. Explore the possibilities of embroidery technology as a new medium to produce e-textiles. Our experts will introduce you to the world of technical embroidery and help you produce unique and innovative applications for smart and e-textiles. Diversify and expand your offerings by incorporating smart textiles into your product line. No matter your current skill level, we'll guide you through the process, from learning the electrical foundations to digitizing and integrating electronic components seamlessly into your embroidery projects. Our workshops are designed to be accessible to beginners while still providing valuable insights and techniques for more experienced professionals. Each workshop is structured into two components: Electrical Engineering and Embroidery Technology. The Electrical Engineering component covers the electrotechnical foundations, main components, and an introduction to programming. You will have hands-on experience in performing specific measurements and designing your circuits, empowering you to apply your newly acquired knowledge to real-world applications. The Embroidery Technology component focuses on the digitizing and production of reliable e-textile products. You will gain valuable insights into the theory behind embroidery technology and the materials used for smart and e-textiles. During the practical part, you'll have the opportunity to digitize a design and embroider it on our machines, allowing you to see the full potential of this exciting technology. Additionally, each workshop includes a take-home sample, to inspire your own future creations.
Use Case
Heating & Lighting Dog Jackets
sports, outdoor, leisure
The dog's warmth in winter is guaranteed by the heating jacket, while the visibility during nighttime walks is ensured by the lighting jacket. These prototypes exemplify two potential uses for the embroidery of wires and fibers, with the heating fibers and lighting wire being automatically incorporated into the fabric through embroidery. Collaborate with us to bring these prototypes or your own concepts to life as your own distinctive products!
Use Case
Embroidered Piano
gaming, sports, kids, fun, leisure
Ever played music on a piece of fabric? The Embroidered Piano makes this possible. The piano features eight keys that are embroidered with conductive thread, which are then connected to an Adafruit Circuit Playground board. Simply touch a key with your finger, and the Adafruit board will play the corresponding musical tone through its onboard mini speaker, while also flashing LEDs in a matching color. You can see how this demonstrator works in action in this video. The piano keys and the conductive paths which connect them to the circuit board are embroidered fully automatically by a ZSK embroidery machine. The paths are then covered with non-conductive embroidery thread for protection against mechanical stress and to enhance the overall design with color matching the fabric. The Embroidered Piano comes with a USB cable for easy power supply from your power bank or notebook. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can also get the DIY kit and try embroidering the piano yourself! The kit includes everything you need to create your own unique design and experience the joy of playing music on fabric.
