3d knitted structural fabric: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent surface bonding and alignment in complex cabin geometries lead to high scrap rates during assembly. These innovations control the structural layering and adhesion sequence to ensure aesthetic durability.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in 3d knitted structural fabric?

Inadequate surface covering conformity

(13)evidences

Standard textile covers often suffer from poor adhesion, misalignment, or complex assembly when applied to rigid interior structures. Improving the integration of decorative layers onto structural parts reduces manufacturing defects and aesthetic inconsistencies.

Inadequate cabin surface heating

(11)evidences

Poor adhesion or structural mismatch between rigid carrier elements and flexible textile layers. Enhancing this interface prevents delamination and surface irregularities in automotive trim.

Inflexible vehicle interior integration

(5)evidences

Standard automotive trim components lack functional responsiveness and user interaction capabilities. Transforming passive surfaces into active interfaces improves cabin utility and driver engagement.
