Conference connects industry and science

Worldwide, the demand of 3D-textiles is increasing continuously, e.g. in the automotive, the building and the medicine industry. Therefore, 3D-textiles possess diverse advantages. Standard weaving machines can produce 3D-textiles either plane or as profile for fibre composite applications. Because of the additional labor in the process, steps can be avoided. Similar developments exist in other traditional surface-producing procedures like knitting or braiding. As applications in medicine, flexible tubes with branches can be produced using 3D-technologies in one step. Therefore the most diverse...
