Lectra presented its range of design and development solutions for technical textiles users at a 300 m² stand at the TechTextil trade fair in Frankfurt, Germany.

The event also demonstrated the strengths of the company's automated cutting solutions – VectorTechTex and Humantec's MFC, six months after acquiring the German specialist – as well as its latest laser cutter, the Focus 10C-600, equipped with a new laser source.

The trade fair provided Lectra with an opportunity to highlight its role in supporting its customers' performance and to demonstrate its commitment to working side by side with them on development throughout the production process.

Companies using industrial fabrics must respond to the key challenge of optimizing their production and prototyping processes. Lectra offers them DesignConcept, its complete 3D/2D solution.

Demonstrations on the stand won over many visitors, who were particularly impressed with its applications in the automotive sector. Creating shapes and technical plans in two or three dimensions, automatic flattening, preparing pieces for production, and analysis of distortion and costs to measure feasibility make DesignConcept the perfect solution for optimizing the entire product development cycle.

Automatic cutting solutions also held the attention of audiences at demonstrations of the VectorTechTex and MFC production systems and the latest laser cutter, the Focus 10C-600.

"The new Focus offers valuable advantages for users of industrial fabrics, with significant improvements in cutting quality, productivity, and reduction of offcuts, particularly with multi-ply cutting," confirmed Pierre Vallortigara, Lectra's transport and industrial fabrics director.
