3D ORTHOGONAL WOVEN T SECTION

Carbon 3D woven T-sections offer several advantages, particularly in industries like aerospace, automotive, and construction. Here are some key benefits:

• Enhanced Strength & Durability: The 3D weaving technique interlocks fibers in multiple directions, improving structural integrity and reducing the risk of delamination.
• Lightweight Design: Compared to traditional metal structures, 3D woven composites significantly reduce weight, which is crucial for applications like aircraft and automotive components.
• Improved Energy Absorption: Studies show that 3D woven T-sections provide better energy absorption in tensile and quasi-static crush tests compared to conventional 2D laminate structures.
• Reduced Manufacturing Time & Cost: The near-net-shape manufacturing process minimizes material waste and machining requirements, leading to cost savings.
• Better Performance Under Load: The through-thickness reinforcement enhances out-of-plane properties, making these composites ideal for applications exposed to complex loading conditions.

Orthogonal Woven  technology

3D orthogonal woven T-sections offer several advantages, particularly in aerospace, automotive, and structural applications. Here are some key benefits:

• Superior Strength & Durability: The orthogonal weaving technique interlocks fibers in three directions (X, Y, and Z), enhancing mechanical properties and reducing delamination risks.
• Lightweight & High Performance: Compared to traditional metal structures, these composites significantly reduce weight while maintaining high stiffness and strength.
• Improved Energy Absorption: The through-thickness reinforcement enhances impact resistance, making them ideal for crash-resistant applications.
• Efficient Manufacturing: The near-net-shape production process minimizes material waste and machining time, leading to cost savings.
• Better Load Distribution: The interwoven structure provides uniform stress distribution, improving performance under complex loading conditions.

Applications

1. Aerospace: Used in aircraft structures like stiffeners and stringers, where lightweight and high strength are crucial.
2. Automotive: Helps in reducing vehicle weight while maintaining crash resistance, improving fuel efficiency.
3. Wind Energy: Applied in turbine blades to enhance durability and resistance to environmental stress.
4. Construction: Used in bridges and buildings for reinforcement, offering better load-bearing capacity.
5. Sports Equipment: Found in high-performance bicycles and protective gear due to their impact resistance.

Manufacturing Techniques

• 3D Weaving Process: Unlike traditional 2D laminates, 3D weaving interlocks fibers in multiple directions (X, Y, and Z axes), enhancing mechanical properties.
• Resin Transfer Molding (RTM): A common method where resin is infused into the woven preform, ensuring uniform distribution and strong bonding.
• Near-Net Shape Manufacturing: Reduces material waste and machining time by producing components close to their final shape.
• Through-Thickness Reinforcement: Improves delamination resistance and impact performance, making the material more durable.
