Our
technology

Infi-Tex multi-touch textile sensor and live pressure visualisation

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.

Development kits

Start with a proven format, then adapt the material, shape and signal to your application.

03

Our sensors are

Anisotropic

Multi-layer resistive prints help reduce false positives while producing proportional pressure readings.

Wire-free

Readings can be transmitted from our fabric sensors through Bluetooth or another connection.

Sustainable

Low-power, printable sensors can reduce the environmental impact of conventional electronics.

Multi-industry

Flexible

Washable

Durable

04

Made to fit.
Not made to fit in.

Start with one of our kits or create something entirely new with our prototyping team.

01

Design

Scale, reshape or combine different sensors into a configuration that fits your product.

02

Materials

Choose from a wide range of suitable non-stretch fabrics based on feel, durability and application.

03

Connections

Prototype with poppers, then adapt to standard connectors, conductive adhesives or threads.

Prototype safety jacket featuring the YKK smart zipper

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.
