Vandewiele: Let the adventure begin
Vandewiele manufactures a double rapier weaving machine to produce drop stitch fabrics, called the VSi42 (Versatile Smart Innovator).

A drop stitch fabric, sometimes referred to as a double wall fabric, is a fabric, consisting out of two fabrics, interconnected by thousands of threads. It is the base fabric for many inflatable applications, like SUP paddle boards. © Vandewiele
