The QEE-TECH® Cell (QTC) is used for rapid production of complex shaped continuous fiber composite reinforcements (3D preforms, QEE-FORMS®) for use in hybrid-molded thermoplastic composites. This is ...

At one time, 3D woven preforms were considered experimental and exotic. In the early 1990s, a novel process of manufacturing thick, integral three-dimensional (3D) orthogonal woven fabrics was ...

In composite structures, the reduction in material properties due to delamination between plies has long been a major concern. Key properties such as compression strength-after-impact are particularly ...
