Weaving Consultancy
Expert guidance in technical weaving and narrow composite reinforcements
Eurocarbon provides specialised weaving consultancy for customers developing composite components using technical woven tapes and narrow fabrics. With decades of experience in weaving carbon, glass, aramid and hybrid materials, we help customers select woven reinforcements that are technically appropriate, manufacturable and cost-effective.
Our consultancy focuses on textile architecture, material selection and production feasibility. We do not provide mechanical strength calculations or downstream handling and placement consultancy.
What We Offer
1. Technical Weaving Consultancy
Narrow woven tapes & structural fabrics
We support customers in selecting and configuring woven reinforcements by advising on:
- Tape width, thickness and weave pattern (max witdth is 360mm wide)
- Fibre type selection (carbon, glass, aramid, hybrids)
- Fabric architecture and yarn distribution
- Edge behaviour and dimensional stability
- Surface quality and consistency
- Production feasibility and cost implications
2. Standard Programme as Starting Point
Fast and reliable entry into production
For most applications, customers can start with Eurocarbon’s standard woven tape programme, which offers:
- Proven constructions
- Stable quality and repeatability
- Competitive cost levels
- Short lead times
This allows customers to begin development quickly, without unnecessary complexity.
3. Custom Tape Development & Fine-Tuning
Optimising where it adds real value
Once a baseline is established, we support targeted customisation, such as:
- Adjusting tape width or construction
- Modifying weave pattern within production limits
- Hybrid material combinations
- Custom tape designs for specific geometries or interfaces
This step-by-step approach ensures technical optimisation without cost escalation.
4. Material Selection & Application Fit
Choosing the right reinforcement concept
We advise when woven tapes are the most suitable solution, and how they compare to alternative reinforcements:
- Woven tapes vs braids
- Hybrid solutions combining woven tapes with overbraiding
- Hybric solutions combining woven tapes with refular braids to simulate a triaxial structure for bending and torsion loads.
- Tubular Elastic UD Woven Tape
- Tublar braid
Our guidance is based on manufacturing practicality and application requirements, not theoretical optimisation.
5. Prototype Support & Small-Series Production
Validation before scale-up
Eurocarbon supports customers with:
- Sample tapes from the standard programme
- Custom development samples
- Small-series production for trials
- Transition from development to series production
This allows customers to validate their reinforcement choice before committing to larger volumes.
