The facility has access to the majority of textile processes, machines and materials. Industry, businesses and design professionals interested in using the facilities can do so for a small membership fee, though at busy times priority will be given to student use. Typically, companies use the facilities for commercial research, experimental projects and testing. There are on site technicians to support product development.
