What are
Composites?
formed by intimately combining
Materials
discrete physical
phases to get superior
constituents.
Common examples are
properties
of
two or more
the
individual
Why Composites?
Composites replacing metals minimizing tons of
CO2.
Durable
composites,
need
very
lesser
replacements.
Composites are strong and light in weight.
Fabric preforms have broad flexibility in design.
They can be moulded in complex form and
geometry.
Their strength and stiffness can be tailored
according to end use by changing

Knitting
In 3D knitted structures, more than one yarn and multiple
needle beds
are used to get much thicker structures
Braiding
Different numbers of yarns mounted on spools, cross each other at a
certain
angle in a circular or pre-defined path to form a circular or specific
shaped
preforms.
3D Weaving
In 3D weaving the constituent yarns cross at various angles and
between
different layers to form a 3D mesh or a network like structure.
3D Woven Textiles
3D woven fabrics are classified into two
categories
Basis of Axis
Basis of Dimensions
Basis of Axis
3- axis fabric (yarns in x, y and z axis)
5- axis fabric (3 axes in x direction and one in each y
and z)
7- axis fabric (3 axes each in x and y directions and
one in z)
9- axis fabric (3 axes in all x, y and z directions)
13- axis fabric (3 axes in all x, y and z directions and
with four further yarns passing through eight
diagonally opposite corners)

Production of 3D Multi-Layer
Fabrics
Multi-Layer Fabrics can be produced on
Single Shed Machines
Multi Shed Machines
Both types of machines can produce multi-layer
fabrics, only difference is:
Production rate
Ease of using multiple kind of yarns in multi-shed weaving
machines.
