WSA Issue One 2023 available now
The latest issue of WSA magazine is now available, providing readers with the usual insight into and analysis of exciting developments in performance textiles for sports and outdoor enthusiasts.
Our features include a series of in-depth looks at printing technology. After a lengthy wait for 3D printing to make its promised impact, advances in the technology are making it possible to print performance attributes directly into fabric. Separately, a more established technology, digital printing, is undergoing a quiet revolution of its own. The use of ultrasound waves is one idea that is providing textile producers with the chance to lower the cost and environmental impact of wet processing.
Don’t miss our review of the athletic and outdoor footwear designs that stole the limelight at the latest edition of the ISPO Award. All this and lots more before we wrap up with a conversation with Sympatex CEO, Dr Rüdiger Fox, who is adamant that, within 18 months, the industry’s use of PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ will end.
We hope you enjoy reading all the articles as much as the team enjoyed putting them together.
