The PillGrade's 3D fabric scanning system calculates precise data to objectively and repeatedly grade fabric samples for surface properties.
It provides grading results far more consistent and reliable than subjective pilling grading methods.

PillGrade Advantages

How the PillGrade Works

Detects the sizes, numbers, and locations of  pills

Rates  the  sample’s  fuzziness  and grades it on 1.0‐5.0 scale to both ASTM and ISO standards

Able to scan and grade fabrics of any weight, color and pattern

Easy to Use

Sample automatically loads when placed into PillGrade

Test takes less than 5 seconds to operate 

Grades any textile no matter the material, weight, color or pattern
