Abstract:

The three-dimensional (3-D) needle punching technology leads to low-cost formation of three-dimensional fabrics. In order to better understand the research status of 3-D needle punching technology, the latest domestic and foreign research progress of 3-D needle punching automation equipment technology, 3-D needle punching fabric (or preform) and 3-D needle punching composite materials are reviewed. This review concentrates mainly on the needle punching automatic forming equipment technology suitable for special-shaped fabrics, including the needle punching forming equipment for rotating preforms and free-form surface preforms. The existing needle technology and the new structures of three-dimensional needled fabrics, including multiple component hybrid needled fabrics, needled/stitched coupled needle-punched fabrics, contoured needld fabrics and gradient needled fabrics are summarized, and the experimental characterization, theoretical analysis and numerical simulation research progress of three-dimensional needled composites are also analyzed. Finally, the current development level and challenges of 3-D needle punching technology are discussed, and the future development trend of 3-D needle punching technology is prospected.

Key words: three-dimensional needle punching equipment, needle punching, three-dimensional needle punched fabric, three-dimensional needle punched composite, needle punching technology
