German term or phrase: "Flächengestaltung/Gewebe"
Hello to the Proz community!
I'm translating a set of certificates and am having trouble with the above term ('Flächengestaltung/Gewebe'). I know that this is a subject area within 'Textiltechnik' or 'textile manufacturing', but I'm unsure of which one, exactly; textiles is not my specialist area.

I think that it might mean something like 'material design' (i.e. the pattern on the material) in woven fabrics. If not, another theory is that this has to do with the weaving of the material itself, although this appears to also be called 'Flächenkonstruktion'. Finally, it could be both! Google searches have returned a variety of possibilities and I don't have the term in any of my accessible dictionaries. Each meaning seems feasible and so I'm at a loss of what to do - for a certificate I need to get this right!

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Many thanks in advance,


Marie
