Tufting is a process for making textiles such as rugs and tapestries for hanging on walls. Our Client had a tufting machine invention he had been thinking about for over a decade. He came to Boost Design when it was time to turn his dream into a reality.
COMPLETE R&D SERVICE
- Research into available tufting technologies.
- Feasibility assessment of the Client’s technology.
- Simulation of complex electromagnetic designs for the high-speed and novel tufting head.
- Mechanical Design of the custom tufting head mechanical components.
- Electronic Design of the tufting head driver and control circuitry.
- Development of a prototype, suitable for testing.
- Testing and iteration until a working tufting head assembly was developed.
This project required intensive research and development of complex electro-mechanical precision systems that were also suitable for high-speed operation. The Boost Design Team achieved a successful outcome and demonstrated a working prototype to the Client.
- Design and development of novel tufting needles, supporting a wide range of thread sizes.
- Design and development of the custom tufting frame for holding the base material tensioning system.
- Research and development of a multi-axis CNC machine
- Design of CNC control electronics, schematics and PCBA design
- Firmware & Software development of control systems to support all R&D and device functions
- Systems integration of all electronic, mechanical and software components
- Testing and design refinement
“I’ve been wanting to develop this machine for years… patent searches are underway and this solution looks to have the necessary novelty. The team should keep up the good work, its appreciated.”
