Layer build-up
Multilayer formation for thick structural textile sections and block-type preforms.
Developed platform
3D orthogonal weaving machine
X–Y–Z yarn architecture for multilayer and integrated structural preforms.
The developed platform coordinates in-plane yarn systems with through-thickness reinforcement for thick sections, blocks and near-net profile development.
Architecture definition
Three-direction reinforcement, configured through the machine.
X and Y form the in-plane architecture; Z reinforcement connects the thickness. Layer count, yarn path, tension and take-up are developed together rather than treated as separate post-weaving operations.
