Abstract

In this paper, a three-dimensional knitting mechanism was designed for fiber reinforcement, And the creation of an appropriate movement performance that allows the formation and knitting of geometric shapes that are somewhat identical to the shape of the piece to be reinforced by controlling the path of the spherical bond fibers. Each Each geometry is characterized by a series of three-dimensional matrix, where the geometric shape is dividing into parallel vertical slices , and each slice has its own matrix In accordance with the geometric shape.This 3D woven is used for reinforcement by placing it in a mold to inject the base material into it and to obtain the required fiber-reinforced piece in the three directions.
