The Multi Axis machine can not only match hand tufted quality, it can perform feats that are not possible with a hand gun.
  • Can tuft continuous circles and spirals without stopping.
  • Can switch from cut pile to loop pile on the fly dynamically
  • Can vary the pile height on the fly to create three dimensional effects
