Centre for Polymer and Material Technologies, Department MaTCh, Ghent University, Gent, Belgium.She worked six years in a bank office but in June 2000, decided to return to her roots: textiles. Since then, she works as a Researcher at the Textile Department, Ghent University. She has given classes in weaving and Jacquard technology, but her recent activities are mainly concentrated on smart textiles, more specifically the research and development of textile sensors for integration in biomedical clothing and textile antennas.

3D printing on textiles is a possible future application for mass customization of fabrics and textile products. In this paper we investigate three test methods to quantify the adhesion of 3D printed PLA parts to a textile substrate. The first proposed test method is a perpendicular tensile test, the second is a shear test, and the third is a peel test. These three tests are used to characterise the adhesion of a 3D printed shape on six different textile substrates. The test methods are compared and it is shown how they can help in standardizing the research of 3D printing on textiles.
