Cygnet Texkimp has secured two contracts to supply high-volume 3D weaving creel technology to the aerospace sector, supporting the production of next-generation composite components.
The creels are designed to unwind carbon fibers into 3D weaving looms used to manufacture lightweight, high-performance components for aircraft applications. According to the company, the systems are intended to support consistent and repeatable fiber handling during the weaving process.
Each creel will be configured to incorporate between 5,000 and 7,000 bobbins of carbon fiber, enabling the processing of high volumes of material required for structural composite parts.
The contracts build on a decade-long collaboration between Cygnet Texkimp, aerospace manufacturers, and research organizations focused on developing and validating creel technologies for 3D weaving applications.
3D weaving enables the production of complex carbon fiber-reinforced composite structures by integrating thousands of fiber tows into three-dimensional forms, supporting improved structural integrity in aerospace components.
This development reflects the increasing adoption of 3D weaving technologies in aerospace manufacturing, particularly for applications requiring lightweight structures, high strength, and improved efficiency.
