Method to Joint 3-Dimensional Woven Material

Abstract

The present invention provides techniques for binding 3D woven materials even over an inch thick using only materials found within the weave itself providing the advantages of a mechanically enhanced seam while avoiding the disadvantages associated with traditional techniques such as adhesives, fasteners, and uneven heat resistance. It further minimizes damage to the material used in the joining process and prevents the introduction of additional substances that would cause impurities in the resin process.
