Fabrics & Reinforcements
Non-crimp & multiaxial fabrics
Straight fibre layers at selected angles are held together by a lightweight through-thickness stitch instead of interlacing.
In simple terms
Straight fibre layers at selected angles are held together by a lightweight through-thickness stitch instead of interlacing.
Best for
Large infused structures, rapid lay-up and efficient 0°, 90° and ±45° reinforcement.
Watch out for
Stitches can create local waviness, resin-rich channels and print-through; thick multiaxials may resist tight curvature.
Typical applications
Wind blades, marine hulls, automotive structures, tanks and industrial panels.
