NCSU College of Textiles uses Lectra technology

20/09/2010

The College of Textiles at North Carolina State University (NCSU) has implemented Lectra's Vector automated cutting solution.
According to the technology provider, the new solution will prepare the textile students for careers in the apparel industry and will introduce industry professionals to the university laboratory. Study programmes at the university include traditional design and manufacturing to colour science, medical textiles, nonwovens, marketing and supply chain management. More than half of all textile graduates in the US come through NCSU.

"Most recently, our fashion and textile management programme has continued to grow in student numbers at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, which increases the pressure for our faculty members to train and better prepare those students on the latest technology solutions," said Nancy Cassill, professor and department head of textile and apparel technology and management, College of Textiles.
"Throughout all our courses, students are required to create, develop and produce a portion of their fashion creations. As a result, there's been an increased demand for an accurate and high-speed cutting system to handle a wide range of fabrics to complete the process."
