We digitise material

By digitising material behaviour, we enable you to carry out precise and realistic 3D simulations and ensure a reliable fit for your products. In our accredited and certified testing laboratory, we record and analyse all relevant material properties and prepare them optimally for use in various simulation systems.

Our services at a glance

1.
Comprehensive material testing in the laboratory

Through precise laboratory testing, we make your materials quantifiable and comparable. In this way, we establish a reliable foundation for realistic 3D simulations and confident decision-making throughout the development process.

✔ Consistent analysis of your materials
✔ Assessment of drapeability, movement and stretch
✔ Measurement of textile physical parameters as the basis for simulation

3.
Data preparation for 3D systems

We ensure your material data integrates seamlessly into your existing system environment. Through structured processing and flexible data formats, we ensure that your materials can be used optimally across a range of 3D systems.

✔ Conversion of your material data into suitable file formats
✔ Use of our proprietary input-output matrix
✔ Compatibility with various simulation solutions

2.
Material data that makes all the difference

These material parameters are crucial for achieving realistic textile behaviour. By accurately capturing the relevant material properties, we realistically simulate the natural drape of your materials, providing a reliable basis for precise 3D simulations.

✔ Weight and thickness
✔ Elastic behaviour
✔ Flexural behaviour
✔ Crease volume and shape

4.
Visual quality that inspires

Realistic surfaces are key to creating the right visual impression. Using high-quality scans and modern rendering workflows, we faithfully reproduce the distinctive appearance of your materials in the digital world.

✔ Scanning of material samples
✔ Creation of high-quality texture maps
✔ Use of the established PBR (Physically Based Rendering) workflows

Your materials. Digitally perfected.

Build a centralised, digital materials library and bring structure to your materials data.

We systematically digitise your materials so that they are always available, consistently maintained and can be efficiently reused in future projects.

The result: less effort, higher quality and reliable 3D simulations – the ideal foundation for informed decisions and future-proof development processes.

Get your materials ready for the digital future.

We digitise your materials in a structured manner, from data capture and 3D-ready processing to realistic visualisation. This provides you with a reliable foundation for precise simulations and efficient development processes. Let’s work together to unlock the potential of your materials.
