Ply Profiling Dry Fabrics
Ply Profiling Dry Fabrics
(OP)
Hi all ,
Does anyone have any experience of automated CAD ply profiling dry fabrics ?
I am currently doing some investigations into the issue and am having trouble maintaining the profiles as they are quite delicate .
Does anyone have any knowledge of possible stabilisation films that may be used or ways of treating the fabric to stiffen it and prevent deterioration of the profile once cut ?
Cheers

RE: Ply Profiling Dry Fabrics
Binders are often non-tacky solid resins that can be applied as a powder and then melted onto the fabric. It is best if a form of the matix resin itself is used to insure compatibility. If you are going to infuse the preform, the binder can easily migrate with the flow front and get very concentrated. That is one reason that compatibility is so important. Binders are usually applied at 5 to 10% by weight to fabric.
