TEXINTEL LIVE SMART MANUFACTURING INTERVIEW WITH RENEE MASCOLO OF PREMEX ON PRINTED TEXTILES FOR INTERIORS
The Interior Decor sector is accelerating its digitisation, and the use of smart, sustainable fabrics for interior applications.
In this interview with Renee Mascolo of Premex Solutions Inc, we explore market shifts, new fabrics and technical developments.
And we deep dive into the specifications required for printed home furnishings and hospitality fabrics.
In this roundtable, NedGraphics President Frank Maeder and 10Duke CEO Neil Fenton unpack one of the least glamorous - but most business critical - topics in creative production: Software licensing.
Together, they explore why legacy hardware dongles and static license keys are holding the industry back, how COVID exposed their limitations, and why user‑centric, identity‑based licensing is now essential for global, hybrid workflows. From roaming designers in New York to production teams in remote factories, they reveal how to remove friction, reduce downtime, and keep creative tools securely in the hands of the people who need them.
If you’re in fashion, design, CAD/CAM, or any creative production environment and want to future‑proof your software delivery, this discussion is packed with insight and real‑world examples.
