Tubular fabrics
A tubular fabric is characterized by the hollow spaces
in the 3D woven fabric. These hollow spaces can be customized in shape and
dimension. The surfaces can be profiled or flat each with several different
connection possibilities. With profiled faces oblique or oblique in combination
with horizontal connections (for example a honeycomb structure) are possible. Flat
surfaces can have vertical connections, oblique connections or a combination of
oblique and horizontal connections. These openings can be used for utilities,
can be filled with reinforcement matrix, with foam…
It is possible to combine different yarn types in one woven fabric. Different layers can consist of other yarns but also within one woven layer periodically another yarn type can be used.
