Creating a lifelike digital representation of fabric remains one of the key challenges in the textile manufacturing industry's shift toward digitalization. Whether you're a mill presenting your textiles to clients or a designer developing garments, fashion, furniture and other textile products daily, digital technology is increasingly blending the worlds of science and design. Digital fabrics rely on a complex set of optical data properties that replicate the look and feel of real textiles in a virtual space. To digitize a fabric, you must start with a physical sample, and following specific preparation steps is essential to ensure high-quality digital results.
Our N-hega CCD Contex HD Ultra X scanner is designed specifically for high-resolution textile and fabric scanning, with capabilities ranging from 100 to 1200 DPI. Simply place your fabric in a carrier sleeve—such as plastic or paper—feed it into the scanner, and within seconds, our Nextimage software works in tandem with the scanner to capture a true-to-scale, high-fidelity image of the fabric.
Nextimage allows you to adjust color, lighting, brightness, and tonal levels to fine-tune your scan before saving. The software supports a wide range of export formats, including BMP, DWF, JPG, JP2, JPX, PDF, PNG, and TIF.
