weaveknitconstructie
Weaveknitconstructie refers to textile construction that combines woven and knitted elements into a single fabric system or product. It aims to merge the strengths of both approaches: woven materials provide dimensional stability and abrasion resistance, while knitted structures offer elasticity and comfort. The term covers hybrid fabrics and multi-material systems produced with integrated weaving and knitting processes.
There are several implementations. One approach integrates a knitted layer with a woven layer, bonded or laminated,
Production methods include 3D knitting to form seamless knit components that are joined to woven panels, or
Applications include sportswear, outerwear, footwear, upholstery, and other technical textiles. Advantages of weaveknitconstructie include the combination
