01
Our
technology
We print our patented conductive ink directly onto fabric to create soft, wire-free circuits.
Our smart textile sensors provide three-dimensional X, Y and Z signals when pressure is applied, measuring both position and change in force.
Our products were selected by the UK Department for International Trade as one of 30 leading British technology innovations.
Myra Waiman wins Innovate UK Women in Innovation Award.
Infi-Tex's founder and CEO has been recognised for her work advancing smart textile technology and its potential to help prevent pressure ulcers.

Start with one of our kits or create something entirely new with our prototyping team.
Design
Scale, reshape or combine different sensors into a configuration that fits your product.
Materials
Choose from a wide range of suitable non-stretch fabrics based on feel, durability and application.
Connections
Prototype with poppers, then adapt to standard connectors, conductive adhesives or threads.
Recent project / YKK smart zipper
A connection you can feel.
YKK and Infi-Tex created a smart zipper that detects when it is fully closed and reports its state to a remote device.
The prototype safety jacket demonstrates an idea with potential across protective equipment, luggage, camping, sport and beyond.

Questions,
answered.
What base materials can be used?+
We can print on virtually any suitable fabric: elastic or non-elastic, waterproof, knitted, woven, non-woven, synthetic, natural and felt. Films, rubber and other sheet materials are not currently supported.
Are the sensors affected by moisture?+
The sensors can be washed and should be allowed to dry fully before use. Waterproof fabrics may be suitable for wet environments when their edges are properly sealed.
How robust are the sensors?+
Our sensors have a smooth, hard-wearing finish. Their construction and materials can be adapted to meet the intended application's durability needs.
What temperature range is supported?+
The sensors are designed for use between 0°C and 40°C. They should not be exposed above 80°C or below −10°C and cannot be ironed.
Can you create custom shapes?+
Yes. Sensor size, pitch, force range and shape can be adjusted, and several sensor types can be combined into a custom configuration.
