Current and future potential applications for three-dimensional (3D) fibre reinforced polymer composites made by the textile processes of weaving, braiding, stitching and knitting are reviewed. 3D textile composites have a vast range of properties that are superior to traditional 2D laminates, however to date these properties have not been exploited for many applications. The scientific, technical and economic issues impeding the more widespread use of 3D textile composites are identified. Structures that have been made to demonstrate the possible uses of 3D composites are described, and these include applications in aircraft, marine craft, automobiles, civil infrastructure and medical prosthesis.read more

Review of z-pinned composite laminates
TL;DR: In this article, the benefits and drawbacks of z-pinning on the interlaminar toughness, damage tolerance and in-plane mechanical properties are compared against other common types of through-thickness reinforcement for composites, such as 3D weaving and stitching.

Designing bioinspired composite reinforcement architectures via 3D magnetic printing
TL;DR: An additive manufacturing approach that combines real-time colloidal assembly with existing additive manufacturing technologies to create highly programmable discontinuous fibre composites is presented and it is demonstrated that it can now be designed and evolve elaborate reinforcement architectures that are not found in nature.

A mechanistic approach to the properties of stitched laminates
Adrian P. Mouritz,Brian N. Cox +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a critical appraisal of a large amount of published mechanical property data reveals that stitching usually reduces the stiffness, strength and fatigue resistance of a laminate by not more than 10-20%, although in a few cases the properties remain unchanged or increase slightly.
