Why spacer fabrics ?
• Climate-physiological comfort
• Specific point elasticity
• Weight reduction
• Made as component and near-net-shape
• Potential for functional integration
• Decoration

Conclusion
• Warp Knitting is a niche technology in the field of
textiles
• However, it is highly versatile
• It ranges from simple open net structures over
elastic wear, to spacer fabrics, to highly
sophisticated lace patterns
• It can be used in a variety of technical applications
and can be modified to be used for composite
fabrics
