Abstract

In this study, a novel production method for textile switches has been developed using conductive embroidery on pre-stretched fabric. A specially designed fixtures that can stretch and fix the fabric were prepared using 3D printing. Embroidery technique was used for selective stiffening to form three-dimensional shape. The relationship between embroidery design parameters and the physical properties of resulting textile switch has been investigated. An automated testing device has been developed to assess the reliability of textile switches. Test results showed that the textile switches developed in this study maintained their functionalities even after 30,000 clicks, providing perceptible haptic feedback to users.
