R&D Sensor Prototyping

BENCHWEAVE-X

The bench platform — small footprint, full conductive workflow.

A compact 10-needle single-head machine optimized for benchtop R&D, university labs, and startup proof-of-concept work. Same conductive-thread toolchain as the production machines, sized for a single workstation.

Overview

The bench platform — small footprint, full conductive workflow.

Why this machine

PhD students and startup engineers shouldn't have to wait for production-line time to test an idea. BENCHWEAVE-X drops on a desk, runs on a 120 V outlet, and handles the same DST files as the rest of the catalog. From sketch to stitchout in under an hour.

Capabilities

  • Capacitive and piezoresistive sensor prototyping (all geometries)
  • Conductive thread stitching — silver, kevlar, CNT, water-soluble
  • Compact 0.5 cm minimum geometry up to 240 × 360 mm field
  • Quiet 120 W operation — fits in a shared lab without retrofit
  • 100M-stitch memory — long runs without reloading

Ideal for

PhD research groups, university teaching labs, hardware startups in proof-of-concept stage, corporate innovation benches.
