Automated Gradient Dyeing System
The Step-Dyer is an innovative, Arduino-controlled machine designed for precision gradient dyeing of textiles. This advanced system offers:
- Automated winch mechanism for precise fabric positioning
- Customizable dyeing process with adjustable steps and duration
- Capability for extended operation, allowing multi-hour dyeing cycles
- Ideal for creating complex color gradients in industrial textile production
- Developed through collaborative research with textile experts
The Step-Dyer streamlines the plant-based dyeing process, combining traditional techniques with modern automation for superior efficiency and consistency in textile coloration.
