Carla Hertleer received the M.Sc. degree in textile engineering and the Ph.D. degree in engineering (on the research topic of textile-based antennas) from Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium, in 1990 and 2009, respectively.,For three years, she worked in a vertically integrated textile company that produced terry cloth. 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. S

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.
