“Smart Stretch” control for precision design in textiles

TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY

Durable and precision controllable material that uses automatic design optimization which allows developers to specify high-level goals to 1) utilize “inverse design” to meet specified criteria; 2) Complex stretch conditions solved automatically; 3) Provide greater extensibility and elasticity control; 4) Stitching modifies stiffness/stretch and tensile properties
