Jacquard fabric is a special fabric with texture or pattern. Its production process includes the following main steps:
1. Design the pattern: First , the designer will draw the design pattern of the jacquard fabric based on the needs and creativity. This can be done by hand drawing, computer drawing or CAD software.
2. Knitting design draft: After the design pattern is completed, it needs to be converted into a knitting design draft. Weaving designers use specialized software to convert the designs into a format suitable for weaving. The color, position, and operation of each fabric unit (such as yarn) are specified in the design.
3. Weaving preparation: Before formal weaving, a series of weaving preparations are required. This includes selecting the appropriate yarn material, color and yarn density, as well as dyeing and pre-treating to ensure yarn quality and color consistency.
4. Jacquard weaving: The weaving process of jacquard fabric is different from ordinary weaving. In addition to weft and warp interweaving, additional equipment (jacquard machine) also needs to be controlled for weaving. Movement of the board to achieve specific pattern and texture effects. The jacquard machine uses devices such as hooks, shuttles, and buckles to adjust the up and down passage of yarn to form patterns.
5. Trimming and finishing: After weaving is completed, the jacquard fabric needs to be trimmed and finished. This includes removing impurities, cutting edges, cleaning, ironing and other treatments to make the fabric flatter, smoother and have a good feel.
6. Quality inspection and packaging: Finally, the finished jacquard fabric will undergo strict quality inspection to ensure that it meets standards and design requirements. It is then packaged and often sold in rolls for easy transportation and storage.
It should be noted that the production process of jacquard fabric may vary depending on different textile manufacturers, machines and design requirements. The above is just an overview of the general steps, and the specific production process needs to be adjusted and changed according to the actual situation.
