Fabric Reverse Engineering
At SR Labs, we understand that every fabric tells a story. Fabric reverse engineering is the process of deconstructing a textile to understand its complete composition, structure, and manufacturing process. It’s how we uncover the precise “recipe” of a fabric, from the type of fiber used to the intricate weave pattern and the dyes applied.
Our Analytical Testing Process
Our process goes beyond just looking at the fabric. We use state-of-the-art analytical testing to provide a comprehensive breakdown of the material. Here’s what we analyze:
Fiber Composition: We identify the type of fiber (e.g., cotton, polyester, nylon, wool) and determine the exact blend ratio. This is done using techniques like Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy and microscopy.
Replicate Fabrics
Create an exact copy of a successful fabric, whether it’s a popular commercial textile or a rare vintage sample.
Improve Products
Analyze a competitor’s product to identify its strengths and weaknesses, helping you develop a superior version.
Analyze Defects
Get to the root cause of a quality issue, such as a color fading problem or a tear in the fabric, by studying its composition in detail.
Innovate and Develop
Understand the fundamental building blocks of a fabric to inspire new designs and create new, high-performance textiles.
