Abstract
The manufacturing of three-dimensional textile preforms used for composites started to re-ceive much attention in the last decade.The major barriers to accelerating the transition from thelamination of two-dimensional fabrics to manufacturing integral three-dimensional near-netshaped textile preforms are high cost and database deficiency.To reduce the cost of weaving three-dimensional preforms,and make full use of the potential of conventional looms,a rig was designedwhich can convert two-dimensional woven fabric to particular three-dimensional preforms wherethe yarn is orientated in the directions of maximum stress.
