Edit
As composites manufacturing is applied increasingly to high-volume parts, material efficiency will become paramount. This presentation will review the use of braiding technologies to produce high-quality, conformable fabrics that offer users significant cost advantages when making composite parts. A&P's braided fabrics are tailored to meet areal weight and width requirements, minimizing waste, and are customized to the architecture required for optimal performance. This presentation will explore the manufacturing benefits of braided fabrics, including handling performance, ease of layup, and infusion efficiency.

Presented by:

 A&P Technology
  • Less scrap – creating optimized widths, areal weights, and architectures
  • Easier handling – manufacturing aids including laminations and powder coating
  • Reduced manufacturing time – from composite tooling to high-performance materials, including thermoplastics
  • Lightweighting through optimized design
