Transforming fibers, weaving intelligence, accelerating impact
The Revolutionary Fibers and Textiles Catalyst Community advances the next generation of fiber-based materials — from smart fabrics to integrated textiles — through collaboration, knowledge sharing, and commercialization.
In partnership with ATI and aligned with the Department of Defense Manufacturing Technology Program, this community strengthens the domestic textile industrial base through advanced design, automation, data integration, and manufacturing innovation.
Textiles are everywhere. What if they could do more than just clothe, cover, or filter? Imagine fabrics that sense, communicate, store energy, regulate temperature, or detect health metrics — all without bulky electronics. To make that a reality, we must combine innovation in materials, electronics, manufacturing, and systems integration.
The Revolutionary Fibers and Textiles Catalyst Community exists to catalyze this transformation — to accelerate advances in fiber-based systems through collective action, infrastructure, and shared vision.
