RALEIGH, N.C. – The 12th International Conference on Textile Composites and the sixth World Conference on 3D Fabrics and their Applications and are being hosted for the first time in the U.S. from May 26-29 by N.C. State's College of Textiles.
In addition, the school will welcome a small group to the Shima Seiki Integral Knitting Workshop.
These conferences will bring together more than 150 academics and industry experts from across the globe to discuss the newest research and innovations in these highly specialized but broadly applicable fields. Programs for both conferences and the workshop can be found online and registration is still open.
For more information and to register, check out the TEXCOMP-12 website, 3D Fabrics website and the Shima Seiki Integral Knitting Workshop website. If you plan to register for both, you will receive a 20 percent discount off of your registration fees by registering here.
TEXCOMP-12: 12th International Conference on Textile Composites
A unique biannual international conference series fully dedicated to textile composites, TEXCOMP-12 covers a broad range of research topics including:
-
innovative reinforcements and composites manufacturing methods
-
aerospace, automotive, civil engineering, marine, biomedical and other applications
-
computational modeling
-
predictive analysis
-
mechanical characterization
-
non-destructive evaluation of textile composites
Textile composites research, education and industrial collaboration are among top priorities of the College of Textiles, making the school the perfect host for this event. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the school’s world-renowned textile academic and research programs.
3D FABRICS: 6th World Conference on 3D Fabrics and their Applications
Those who attend the 3D Fabrics conference will learn about the diverse advances in the textile-technology for 3D fabrics. Solid 3D woven fabrics are of importance in composites and have potential for far reaching outcomes important to many fields including aerospace, military, automotive, construction and medical.
In addition, the application of information technology through CAD/CAM is important for the growth of the technology through efficient manufacturing. The ability to meet reliable specifications for product performance is key to satisfying the engineering requirements for demanding end-user needs. To that end, predictive modeling of mechanical performance will be an important feature of the conference.
Shima Seiki Integral Knitting Workshop
The Shima Seiki Integral Knitting Workshop will be take place May 28 and 29 at the College of Textiles. This event will feature talks, questions-and-answer sessions and laboratory demonstrations.
Shima Seiki has established a global leadership position in flat knitting. Representatives from Shima Seiki, Supreme Corporation and Premiere Fibers will be on site for the workshop. These industry experts will lead workshop activities. The full workshop program is available online. Space is limited to 20 participants.
