The AMTEX Partnership is a collaborative research and development program among the U.S. Integrated Textile Industry, the Department of Energy, The DOE laboratories, other federal agencies and laboratories, and universities. The goal of AMTEX is to strengthen the competitiveness of this vital U.S. industry and thereby preserve and create American jobs. The AMTEX Operating committee met on March 17, 1994 and approved the general direction and scope of the Industry R&D Road Map. All the Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) for the Demand Activated Manufacturing Project were completed and all nine labs were funded and underway by the end of March, 1994. Work was also initiated for three additional projects: Computer Aided Fabric Evaluation (CAFE), Textile Resource Conservation (TReC), and Sensors for Agile Manufacturing (SFAM). The plan for a Cotton Biotechnology project was completed and reviewed by the Industry Technical Advisory Committee. In addition, an `impact study` on the topic of flexible fiber production was conducted by an industry group led by the fiber manufacturers.
