Braided Air Beams

动态空气掩体(DAS)是一家加拿大公司，在便携式防爆掩体领域处于世界领先地位。动态空中避难所设计和建造充气避难所，用于多种应用，如救灾、军事和飞机机库、采矿、工业、宣传和体育设施。DAS通过这个项目寻求创新，开发一种制造结构空气梁的新技术方法。目前，这些梁是通过将涂层织物焊接在一起制成的。这种方法不划算，而且随着高性能材料和更大的光束的出现，这种方法变得越来越复杂。这限制了直升机设计的发展。DAS希望利用编织技术进行创新，以生产一种不透气的气束。CTT集团(GCTTG)与圣海辛的Cégep de Saint-Hyacin一起开发了编织方面的专业知识。

Dynamic Air Shelters (DAS) is a Canadian company, a world leader in the field of portable blast resistantshelters. Dynamic Air Shelters designs and builds inflatable shelters for several applications, such as; disasterrelief, military and aircraft hangars, mining, industrial, promotional and sport facilities. DAS seek, through thisproject, to innovate by developing a new technology approach to manufacturing structural air beams. Currently,these beams are made by welding coated fabrics together. This method is not cost effective and becomesincreasingly complex with high performance materials and larger beams. This is limiting development of theshelters' design. DAS would like to innovate using braiding technology to produce a non-permeable air beam.CTT Group (GCTTG), with the Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe have developed an expertise in braiding.
