The invention relates to a three-dimensional weave-forming method for composites, comprising the following steps: dividing the CAD model into layers according to the structure of a component, designing by layers and optimizing weaving paths; disposing weaving guiding poles on a controllable digital layout template according to preset rules and intervals; In the direction Z, passing guiding sleeves through the hollow guiding poles and evaginating the guiding sleeves, and then fixing the guiding sleeves onto the controllable digital layout template; selecting filaments to weave; after the weaving of one layer thickness is finished, descending the template in the thickness by one layer to drive the guiding sleeves to expose outside a preset distance to form a new layer of layout template; weaving layer by layer until the whole component is finished; dismounting the component and sewing; and dipping the component in resin and finishing the manufacture of the part. According to the method, the rapid prototyping technology and the weaving technology are organically combined, so that the three-dimensional weaving of components with complex function is realized. Simultaneously, the preparation of composite and the forming of components are integrated, so that the manufacture of functional components with complex structure is realized.

Three-dimensional weave-forming method for composites

A digital processing method of a large or medium-size sand mold includes inverting a three-dimensional CAD model of a mold into a numeric controlling code, putting a prepared sand blank on a hollow grid-shaped processing platform to proceed the digital milling procedure, bringing away waste sand generated during processing by high pressure gas blown out from a nozzle near a cutter and the waste sand entering to a collecting device below the processing platform. A device for carrying out the method is disclosed. The method and the device reduce the processing steps.
