Home Knitting Machine Invented -
-When the home knitting machine
was invented it made domestic women’s life easier.
They were now able to make there on
fabrics from the comfort of their homes. Now
making clothes was made easer as they didn’t
even need to leave home to get fabrics.
Although this was a major convince, lots of jobs
were taken away because of this invention and
many people working in the fabric making
industry were out of income.The Hattersley Loom Invented By George Hattersley and Sons--
The Hattersley loom weaved new fabrics like Rayon and artificial
silk. This invention made new fabrics and at a moderately fast speed
with these new fabrics in the hands of fashion designers it changed the
textiles industry. The invention also created jobs
in the textiles industry and economic growth in
England where the Hattersley Loom was first used and invented.Nylon invented-
The invention of Nylon changed the fashion industry from a business
perspective of the industry. Nylon was much
cheaper and easier to make then other fabrics and it lasted longer as well. Factories realised
that using Nylon was much easier and affordable and at the
same time beneficial to the buyer. It was beneficial to the buyer because
it lasted longer and was more durable. This impacted the textiles industry and
businesses in the industry as they started to save much more moneyJohn Whinfield and James Dickson first invented polyester--
In the 1960s textiles industry, Polyester was one
of the cheapest fabrics almost everything was
made of it. Polyester was easy and cheap to
make. This was very convenient for factories
making the clothing. Although now there have
been negative effects of the major use of
polyester, as polyester is made of oil and there
is a lot of pollution made by the fabric. This has
given the textiles industry a bad name.Heinrich Mauersberger invents the Malimo Machine--
The invention of the Malimo machine impacting
the industry and the strength of the fabric. The
Malimo machine strengthened the fibres in the
fabric and increased it durability. This was a
positive impact for buyers as they could now
buy clothing that could last longer. The Malimo
machine also had a positive impact on the
industry as the machine added more stability
with more design flexibility.Fibre reactive dye invented
Fibre reactive dye being invented has had a
major effect on the textiles industry. This new
way of dying fibres are much more fast and
effective then other dying goods. Fibre reactive
dye have good secure properties for when the
dye is bonding to the fibres. The invention of
fibre reactive dye has impacted the industry in a
way where dying is more even and safer to get a good look.Open-end spinning developed in Czechoslovaki
Open-end spinning was a new technology of
making yarn without using a spindle. The
invention is much less reliant on worker which is
a negative impact on the industry as many
workers would be fired and a lot less jobs in the
industry would be available. The production of
yarn as definitely sped up due to this invention
making it easier for businesses in the industry to
obtain yarn, the rotor can speed up to 140,000 rmp.Laser printing invented –
The textiles industry has been majorly effected
by textiles machines laser printing onto clothing,
like jeans and shirts. Designs are created on
material more quickly and are more unique for
designers. Although the positives of laser
printing there have however been negatives.
Now people can create their own designs of
fabric less making fabric sales decline in the
industry.3-D Printers invented –
3D printing has made a big impact now and in
the future. 3D printing will be used on smaller
and durable fibres to make clothing. There are
however some negatives. Now that people can
just make clothes at home this cuts out the
middle man. there is no more need for manufactures if you can just make your own at
home. This invention will put many out of work.Digital printing invented –
as laser printing has evolved digital/layered
printing has been invented. Layered printing has
also been translated into clothing, which makes
designs more interesting to buyers, which has
positive impacts on the industry. The negative
impacts on the textiles industry however have
increased automation and this has decreased
lots of work in the industry.
