Fibers, yarns, and filaments are the major products used in manufacturing technical textiles. Numerous technologies involved in the manufacturing includes 3D weaving, thermoforming, 3D knitting, heat-set methods, nanotechnology, hand-made methods, finishing treatments and others. Thermoforming, 3D weaving, and 3D knitting are the most mostly used methods. Newer technologies such as nanotechnology are projected to witness wide acceptance over the forecast period and offers ample scope for growth.
Thermoforming in textiles is a heat treatment process that is used to shape composites containing fabric layers into various shapes. This technology is widely adopted in the indutech, mobiltech, packtech, and hometech segments. 3D weaving is a weaving process used for manufacturing products such as spacer fabrics, geotextiles, surgical implants, webbings, conveyor belts and more.
