Application areas | Fulfilled industrial requirements | Gaps between 3D textile technolgy & industrial demands | Remarks |
Aerospace | |||
Radome | automated, available sizes | production capacity, design complexity | requires feasible method to meet design criteria |
Motor Vehicles | |||
Bonnet | automated, organized shape geometry | range of production process | prodcution cycle timefor light weight components |
Indoor panel | automated, fiber orientation | organized eco-process with less costing | cost-effectiveness with a certain quality |
Machinery & equipment | |||
Shield | automated | limited fiber orientation, not suitable for each 3D-process | variable and controlled shape geometries |
Pressure vessel | automated | all shapes are not possible directly through a 3D-process | choice of a particular technique as demand |
Safety helmets | automated, standardized shape | commercial accountability, increase in the process channel | eco-process chain |
