Shell three-dimensional woven textiles
A. Buesgen Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences, Moenchengladbach, Germany
Abstract
An alternative to tailoring or moulding of two-dimensional fabrics is the relocation of shaping into the weaving machine. Modified weaving processes and machines are able to weave seamless 3D shell geometries. Among the earliest attempts at weaving 3D shells, corsets, hats and tire cord reinforcements had been developed by the end of the nineteenth century. The fast-growing market for technical textiles motivated to modern 3D weaving processes, which are computer controlled and capable of serial production. Shape weaving is most advanced and combines a modified weaving machine and a new kind of Jacquard weave ...
