Invest in the Future of Revolutionary Functional Fabric Manufacturing

Textiles have been crucial for thousands of years; they completely surround us. We are wrapped in a blanket the moment we are born, and this is our first physical contact after human touch.

Functional fabrics have the potential to revolutionize the way we live and interact with the world. Already, they are transforming healthcare, energy and national defense.

The Center for Functional Fabrics was founded to overcome challenges across many fields, to create the next generation of interactive devices produced through advanced manufacturing. By doing this, we will fuel a new economy based on innovation, collaboration and strong partnerships with industry.

In order to achieve your vision you need to be willing to challenge every part of the process, including making new fabrication tools.
