“My advice to anyone wanting to work in technical textiles is that you need to get a good knowledge of textiles structures.”
|
“You are going to need to get some good practical experience. It is also important to be accepting of strict testing methods, and let’s not forget the need for an inquisitive mind.” |
“You would need to have a good understanding of textiles, including the properties of fibres such as strength and reaction types.” |
“I would say that you will need a degree in a relevant subject. But remember, an academic background isn’t everything. You need to be willing to continually learn, and keep up-to-date with emerging technology and new materials.” |
