A method of creating an engineered textile includes placing a yarn-wound jig on an upper surface of a substrate, selectively printing or extruding a bonding material across the plurality of arranged yarn strands, solidifying the bonding material to bond adjacent ones of the plurality of arranged yarn strands together and form a bound plurality of arranged yarn strands, and removing the bound plurality of arranged yarn strands from the substrate and the frame.

Engineered non-woven textile and method of manufacturing

A system for forming a non-woven, yarn structure for an engineered textile includes a jig having a plurality of upstanding pins and an automatic winding system for winding a plurality of continuous strands of yarn across the jig and around the upstanding pins. The automatic winding system includes a movement mechanism and a winding head coupled with the movement mechanism. The movement mechanism includes one or more motors that are configured to translate the winding head across a central workspace area of the jig. The winding head includes a rotatable base; a plurality of yarn guides arranged in a linear array and extending from the rotatable base, each yarn guide adapted to receive a different one of the continuous strands, and a rotation motor coupled to the rotatable base and configured to selectively rotate the base to alter an orientation of the linear array.
