- Abstract
This paper deals with brief introduction of three-dimensional fabrics, manufacturing techniques, and diversified application. 3-D textiles have a system in all the three axes of plane. These fabrics offer particular properties, such as interlaminar shearing force, and mechanical and thermal stability along all three axes of space. This integrated architecture provides improved stiffness and strength in the transverse direction and impedes the separation of in-plane layers in comparison to traditional two-dimensional fabrics. Simple flat (2-D) fabrics in thickness direction have very law stiffness and strength. This limitation restricts the use of simple 2-D fabrics in the field of space engineering, automotive engineering and sports goods. Recent automated manufacturing techniques have substantially reduced casts and significantly improved the potential for large-scale production. Three-dimensional (3-D) textile fabrics hold a promising future. The demand far these types of fabrics is increasing, especially in the area of high performance composites in housing, automobile industry, and reinforcement materials. Some new areas are health, hygiene & comfort, day to day life. However, the reduction in the cost of manufacturing and raw materials has to be brought about in order to make these goods competitive in the current & future markets.
