Multi-Directional Weaving (MDW®), Jakob Müller AG, Switzerland

Jakob Müller, the 125-year-old producer of limited texture machine advancements, essentially shown something new in each edge of its corner. The organization commenced the show in an awakening way with its live metal band. Cool stuff, other than the band, incorporated another gentler selvage edge tape procedure called Velvedge®; the "greatest needle loom at any point fabricated" utilizing 1,536 snares from the jacquard head; and a few superior needle looms with measured plans that consolidated electronically controlled stepper drives for included adaptability, weaving abilities, strain control of all string sorts, shedding movement choices and mind boggling structure capacities.

Notwithstanding, the coolest presentation was Müller's Multi-Directional Weaving (MDW®) framework, which when combined with any of the new measured weaving machines, gives practical and impact string situation inside the restricted texture development. MDW can be fused into the base texture either as individual strings or groupings of strings, exhibiting an unheard of level of texture plan abilities focused at specialized, useful, shrewd and style related limited texture applications. One application featured at the show was a shoe insole fabricated in a solitary generation grouping on a NFM® 53 2/84 MDW loom including a conductive copper-nickel string making a warming component to keep the wearer's feet warm.
