Hybrid Carbon Fiber and Jute Fiber Textile Bone Stool: Integrative Fabrication Method of Weaving and 3D Printing

Full Article:

The structural properties of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) encourage designers and architects to use textiles as a load-bearing architectural material to create lightweight and strong structures. Manufacturing techniques of FRPs are mostly concentrated on the molding method. This method requires an extra mold fabrication that causes waste of material. This study focuses on integrative weaving and 3D printing fabrication methods, which emphasize the lightweight property of the material. This integrative method avoids excessive material waste during fabrication by using an additive approach. 3D printing on textiles prevents significant deformation in a specific direction of the fabric instead of using any kind of synthetic resin for stiffening the fabric. Additionally, structural behavior simulation allows designers to understand the different loading conditions and maximize the strengths of each textile design by adding more material where it is needed for possible architectural applications
