The Texile Design Laboratory supports innovation through design and new technologies, knowledge sharing and research, fostering collaboration between industry and education.
AUT’s School of Art & Design has received strong backing for the lab, which offers access to the latest print and knit technologies and provides regular opportunities for industry training. Fashion and textiles companies will also be able to make use of the lab to develop samples or small runs of knitwear or printed fabrics.
The laboratory gives industry and students access to cutting edge design, knit and print technology and expertise. It is available to postgraduate and specialist undergraduate students through workshops and project support.
