By covering carbon fibers, a general-purpose weaving machine can be used for weaving into fabric.
By weaving into fabric, a small number of laminations can provide a high degree of isotropy.
Injection of bonding resin is not required. Fabric can be easily formed in a short time only by hot-press.
Effect(s)
Increase in productivity of CFRTP
High-functionality CFRTP can be manufactured.
