What are knit reinforcements?
Knit reinforcements use a stitch structure to connect yarns or hold reinforcing fibers together in a textile. The construction influences how the material handles and conforms, providing options for preparing reinforcement for composite manufacturing.
Structure for your process.
Yarn selection, stitch pattern, and fabric construction all influence the behavior of a knit reinforcement. Matching these features to your resin system and production method can help you balance handling, stability, and the needs of your part design.
Explore complex shapes.
Knitted reinforcement structures can offer options for covering curved surfaces and preparing shaped preforms. With the right material and construction, you can develop reinforcement suited to your geometry, processing approach, and performance requirements.
