Measuring yarn diameter, yarn compressibility and their effect on fabric quality is important to both the fabric designer and the textile technologist.

CAD/CAM is virtually a "No Limit" solution for textile designing & manufacturing with a vast application area including in dobby, jacquard and screen printing as well as blanket, carpet and knitting industries.

With the development of the USTER® TESTER 5 a new approach has emerged in the analysis of yarns characteristics - evenness variations, surface variations, impurity and bulk - in the laboratory.

The 1-step BSY yarn from a PET base remains the most cost-effective yarn production method available currently in the market in order to produce textured-like fabrics.

Only packages wound on precision winders with closed-loop tension control systems and on step-precision winders can fully meet all yarn dyeing and post-dyeing requirements in terms of quality and economy.

Innovations in segregation of halls, newfound enthusiasm of exhibitors, especially from Asia, first-time focus areas for education & research, emphasis on emerging areas like nonwovens….the list is endless. ITMA 2007 is set to open on a high note of optimism.

The Munich ITMA has many firsts - internationally. And for India, it holds a few welcome surprises. For the first time, a textile research institution - Bombay Textile Research Institution - and an educational institution - DKTE, Ichalkaranji - are participating with separate stalls.
