  Nextiles sews circuitry into fabrics providing elegant solutions to track data from anything and everything we interact with. Unlike conductive inks, our sensors work with basic threads such as cotton, polyester, spandex and nylon so our environmental impact is reduced. Nextiles fabrics are custom-tailored to fit any situation. We have reconfigured the sensor world to work with any fabric. Our differentiating product offering is the ability to produce biomechanical and biochemical data from form-fitting and tailored products using Nextiles’ patented technology to sew circuitry directly into fabric. Developed new softgoods product lines for brands in various fields through ideation, modeling, prototyping, etc. Designed enclosures for different product lines and pushed them into mass production phase of injection molding. Designed CAM and CNC jigs for fabrication and assembly of electro-mechanical components. Show less
