Clemson University weaves ceremonial ribbon on Picanol Ultimax weaving machine for opening of new complex
Clemson University, South Carolina (United States) recently invested in a Picanol Ultimax rapier weaving machine, and one of the first showcase projects using the machine was the production of the fabric for the ceremonial ribbon used during the official opening of the university’s new Advanced Materials Innovation Complex (AMIC).
The ribbon was woven by Clemson Textiles, part of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), highlighting not only the symbolic value of the project but also the department’s strong expertise in advanced textile development. Rather than sourcing a standard ribbon for the ceremony, the university chose to design and produce a custom-woven version in-house.
