What is Textile Manufacturing?

Textile manufacturing is a major industry. It is largely based on the conversion of fibre into yarn, then yarn into fabric. These are then dyed or printed, fabricated into cloth which is then converted into useful goods such as clothing, household items, upholstery and various industrial products. Overall, many things can be made with cotton, not just clothing.

Types of Textile Manufacturing Process:

• Yarn Manufacturing
• Fabric Manufacturing
• Garment Manufacturing
• Technical Textile

Yarn Manufacturing:

Traditionally, yarn manufacturing comprises a series of processes involved in converting the fiber into yarn. It was rooted in natural fibers obtained from natural plant or animal sources. Natural fibers are produced with natural impurities that were removed from the yarn in subsequent pre-treatment processes.

Possibly, cotton is the fiber that has rooted the yarn manufacturing from fiber bale opening, followed by the series of continuous operations of blending, mixing, cleaning, carding, drawing, roving, and spinning.

Fabric Manufacturing:

Textile fabric is at least a two-dimensional structure produced by fiber/yarn interlacing. The interlaced fibrous structure mainly used is woven, non-woven, and knitted. Traditionally, weaving technology was the principal source for fabric production.

The important types of woven fabric produced are the basic weaves, such as plain or tabby, twill, and satin, and the fancy weaves, including pile, jacquard, dobby, and gauze.

Knitted fabric is the second major type of fabric used following the woven. It has a characteristic of accommodating the body contour and providing the ease of movement. It is particularly a comfortable form of fabric structure for sports, casual wear, and undergarment. Knitted fabrics include weft types and the warp types, raschel, and tricot.

Garment Manufacturing:

Garment is known as a piece of clothing. Garment design and manufacturing is the combination of art and technology.

Garment manufacturing has seen several advancements in design development, computer-aided manufacturing (CAD), and automation. However, the older version of the garment manufacturing process is still the main theme today—that is, the cutting and joining of at least two pieces of fabric. The sewing machine has the function of joining woven or cut-knitted fabrics. Garments are mostly produced by sewing the pieces of fabric using a sewing machine. These machines are still based on the primary format used.

Technical Textile:

Technical textile is an established domain of interdisciplinary application of textile products. Most of the major industrial sectors are benefiting the function of fiber material.

Any technical textile is a fibrous structure or a textile product that is produced for technical performance rather than fashion or aesthetic requirements.

Currently, technical textiles occupy strong market consumption. It is significantly an important sector for industrial development in industrialized and developing countries.
