The process can also be used for patterned knitwear and machine-knitted textiles such as jerseys. The term "Jacquard" is not specific or limited to any particular loom, but rather refers to the added control mechanism that automates the patterning. This mechanism is probably one of the most important weaving innovations as Jacquard shedding made possible the automatic production of unlimited varieties of complex pattern weaving. Multiple rows of holes were punched on each card, with one complete card corresponding to one row of the design.īoth the Jacquard process and the necessary loom attachment are named after their inventor. The machine was controlled by a "chain of cards" a number of punched cards laced together into a continuous sequence. The machine was patented by Joseph Marie Jacquard in 1804, based on earlier inventions by the Frenchmen Basile Bouchon (1725), Jean Baptiste Falcon (1728), and Jacques Vaucanson (1740). The resulting ensemble of the loom and Jacquard machine is then called a Jacquard loom. The Jacquard machine ( French: ) is a device fitted to a loom that simplifies the process of manufacturing textiles with such complex patterns as brocade, damask and matelassé. It is in the collection of the Science Museum in London, England. Charles Babbage owned one of these portraits it inspired him in using perforated cards in his Analytical Engine. After the intake interview, the lab will send you a final quote.This portrait of Jacquard was woven in silk on a Jacquard loom and required 24,000 punched cards to create (1839). Additional fees will be charged for materials, assembly and any other costs incurred. And for young talent (graduating students), the lab contributes 80% of the total costs.Īfter the intake interview and in discussion with you, the lab team will determine how many development days are needed to realise the project. If you come to develop your own work, without a client and without a subsidy, we will cover 65% of the total costs. If you come to work for a client or if your project is partly supported by a subsidy, we cover 35% of the total costs per project. Thanks to a subsidy from the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, the Province of Noord-Brabant and the City of Tilburg, the lab can reimburse a part of the development costs.
The full rate for a development day is approximately €1,000 (excl. These include the number of development days, the materials used and whether any assembly is required. The cost of developing a project in the weaving department depends on several factors that vary for each project.
