Open Reed Weave (ORW)

Product catalog summary

Introduction
DORNIER's ORW technology integrates embroidery into the weaving process, allowing simultaneous weaving and embroidery on DORNIER machines. This innovation enhances pattern versatility and eliminates the need for downstream processing.

Technology Overview
The ORW technology is modular, maintaining the full performance of DORNIER weaving machines. It uses linear motors to actuate stitching axes, enabling diverse patterns for clothing and decorative fabrics. The system includes additional pattern threads inserted using special guides, creating a filling effect comparable to embroidery.
