SAERTEX USA LLC (Huntersville, N.C., USA), weaving and fabrics specialist will produce 3D orthogonal fabrics at high speed with zero crimp in the warp and weft fibers, using recently acquired weaving equipment, as compared to woven multilayer fabrics using 2-D machines or 3-D interlock fabrics (e.g., angle interlock). The result is improved composite properties. This technology also reduces fiber abrasion during manufacture and allows for a broad variation in z-direction fiber content, offering optimized 3-D fabric architecture for specific applications.
