Titanium Preform
I need through-thickness reinforcement or a near-net shape. Who weaves or braids preforms?
What it is
Near-net dry reinforcement built by three-dimensional weaving, braiding or stitching before resin is introduced. Puts fiber through the thickness, which is where two-dimensional laminates delaminate.
- Typical dimensions
- Made to the part; no standard sizes.
- Also known as
- 3D preform, braided preform, woven preform, near-net preform
