Unirapier project

Objectives

realization of fabrics made of particular fibers (e.g. horsehair) for multiple applications with a weaving process that allows to increase productivity and reduce production costs.

Description

Unirapier project involves the construction of a new type of positive single-sided frame with a modular structure that can be used for many applications. With this procedure, more efficient than those currently used, it will be possible to increase productivity and reduce production costs.
