Figure 2: Resin Transfer Molding 1: Cope 2: Drag 3: Clamp 4: Mixing chamber 5: Fiber preform 6: Heated mold 7: Resin 8: Curative Resin transfer molding (RTM) uses a liquid thermoset resin to saturate a fiber preform placed in a closed mold. The process is versatile and can fabricate products with embedded objects such as foam cores or other components in addition to the fiber preform.

Generally, such fibers are constructed by the same methods as other optical fibers: first, one constructs a "preform" on the scale of centimeters in size, and then heats the preform and draws it down to a much smaller diameter (often nearly as small as a human hair), shrinking the preform cross section but (usually) maintaining the same features. In this way, kilometers of fiber can be produced from a single preform. The most common method involves stacking, although drilling/milling was used to produce the first aperiodic designs. This formed the subsequent basis for producing the first soft glass and polymer structured fibers.

Silicon Carbide / Silicon Carbide (SiC/SiC) Matrix：CH3SiCl3 (g) → SiC(s)+ 3 HCl(g) Interphase: CH4(g) → C(s)+ 2H2(g) The SiC fibers serve as a preform which is heated up to about 1000 ℃ in vacuum and then CH4 gas is introduced into the preform as the interlayer between fiber and matrix. This process lasts for 70 minutes under pressure. Next, the methyltrichlorosilane was carried by hydrogen into the chamber. The preform is in SiC matrix for hours at 1000 ℃ under pressure.
|
|
Some examples where CVI process is used in the manufacturing are: Carbon / Carbon Composites (C/C) Based on previous study, a PAN-based carbon felt is chosen as preform, while kerosene is chosen as a precursor. The infiltration of matrix in the preform is performed at 1050 ℃ for several hours at atmospheric pressure by the FCVI. The inner of the upper surface of preform temperature should be kept at 1050 ℃, middle at 1080 ℃ and the outer at 1020 ℃. Nitrogen gas flows through the reactor for safety.

|
Braiding three-dimensional fibres can be done using four-step, two-step or Multilayer Interlock Braiding. Four-step or row and column braiding utilizes a flat bed containing rows and columns of yarn carriers that form the shape of the desired preform. Additional carriers are added to the outside of the array, the precise location and quantity of which depends upon the exact preform shape and structure required. There are four separate sequences of row and column motion, which act to interlock the yarns and produce the braided preform.
|
|
Many Three- Dimensional preforms are transformed into complex composite materials when a resin is applied and cured within the preform to create a solid fiber reinforced matrix. The most common form of resin application for 3D preforms is the Resin Transfer Molding process where a mold is created in the shape of a preform and the preform is then placed inside. The mold is closed and then the resin of the matrix material is injected under particular temperature and pressure, then allowed to cure. the mold is then removed from the exterior of the 3D composite material.

The moulding processes of FRP plastics begins by placing the fibre preform on or in the mold. The fibre preform can be dry fibre, or fibre that already contains a measured amount of resin called "prepreg". Dry fibres are "wetted" with resin either by hand or the resin is injected into a closed mold. The part is then cured, leaving the matrix and fibres in the shape created by the mold.
|
|
When the raw material (plastic block, rubber block, plastic sheet, or granules) contains reinforcing fibres, a compression molded part qualifies as a fibre-reinforced plastic. More typically the plastic preform used in compression molding does not contain reinforcing fibres. In compression molding, a "preform" or "charge", of SMC, BMC is placed into mould cavity. The mould is closed and the material is formed & cured inside by pressure and heat.
|
|
It resembles stitching, but it is different in that tufting only requires access from one side of the preform. Depending on the equipment used, all shapes and forms may potentially be reinforced by tufting. The density of z-fibres inserted can vary according to the expected loading pattern. On the other hand, the increase of z-properties in the dry preform is comparably low because tufting comprises no force-fit.
|
|
Another example is the deposition of silicon carbide, which is usually conducted from a mixture of hydrogen and methyl- trichlorosilane (MTS, ; it is also common in silicone production). Under defined condition this gas mixture deposits fine and crystalline silicon carbide on the hot surface within the preform. This CVI procedure leaves a body with a porosity of about 10–15%, as access of reactants to the interior of the preform is increasingly blocked by deposition on the exterior.
|
|
The four-step and two-step processes produce a greater degree of interlinking as the braiding yarns travel through the thickness of the preform, but therefore contribute less to the in-plane performance of the preform. A disadvantage of the multilayer interlock equipment is that due to the conventional sinusoidal movement of the yarn carriers to form the preform, the equipment is not able to have the density of yarn carriers that is possible with the two-step and four-step machines. #Knitting fibre preforms can be done with the traditional methods of Warp and [Weft] Knitting, and the fabric produced is often regarded by many as two-dimensional fabric, but machines with two or more needle beds are capable of producing multilayer fabrics with yarns that traverse between the layers. Developments in electronic controls for needle selection and knit loop transfer, and in the sophisticated mechanisms that allow specific areas of the fabric to be held and their movement controlled, have allowed the fabric to be formed into the required three-dimensional preform shape with a minimum of material wastage.

Upper Neolithic axe-head preform A blank is a stone of suitable size and shape to be worked into a stone tool. Blanks are the starting point of a lithic reduction process, and during prehistoric times were often transported or traded for later refinement at another location. Blanks might be stones or cobbles, just as natural processes have left them, or might be quarried pieces, or flakes that are debitage from making another piece. Whatever their origin, on most definitions no further steps have yet been taken to shape them, or they become a preform.

|
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is well suited for this purpose. In the presence of a fiber preform, CVD takes place in between the fibers and their individual filaments and therefore is called chemical vapor infiltration (CVI). One example is the manufacture of C/C composites: a C-fiber preform is exposed to a mixture of argon and a hydrocarbon gas (methane, propane, etc.) at a pressure of around or below 100 kPa and a temperature above 1000 °C. The gas decomposes depositing carbon on and between the fibers.
|
|
SiC/SiC composites are mainly processed through three different methods. However, these processing methods are often subjected to variations in order to create the desired structure or property: # Chemical Vapor Infiltration (CVI) – The CVI method uses a gas phase SiC precursor to first grow SiC whiskers or nanowires in a preform, using conventional techniques developed with CVD. Following the growth of the fibers, the gas is again infiltrated into the preform to densify and create the matrix phase. Generally, the densification rate is slow during CVI, thus this process creates relatively high residual porosity (10–15%).

A brazing preform is a high quality, precision metal stamping used for a variety of joining applications in manufacturing electronic devices and systems. Typical brazing preform uses include attaching electronic circuitry, packaging electronic devices, providing good thermal and electrical conductivity, and providing an interface for electronic connections. Square, rectangular and disc shaped brazing preforms are commonly used to attach electronic components containing silicon dies to a substrate such as a printed circuit board. Rectangular frame shaped preforms are often required for the construction of electronic packages while washer shaped brazing preforms are typically utilized to attach lead wires and hermetic feed-throughs to electronic circuits and packages.

|
In the electrophoretic process, electrically charged particles dispersed in a special liquid are transported through an electric field into the preform, which has the opposite electrical charge polarity. This process is under development, and is not yet used industrially. Some remaining porosity must be expected here, too.

|
The manufacturing processes usually consist of the following three steps: #Lay-up and fixation of the fibers, shaped like the desired component #Infiltration of the matrix material #Final machining and, if required, further treatments like coating or impregnation of the intrinsic porosity. The first and the last step are almost the same for all CMCs: In step one, the fibers, often named rovings, are arranged and fixed using techniques used in fiber-reinforced plastic materials, such as lay-up of fabrics, filament winding, braiding and knotting. The result of this procedure is called fiber-preform or simply preform. For the second step, five different procedures are used to fill the ceramic matrix in between the fibers of the preform: #Deposition out of a gas mixture #Pyrolysis of a pre-ceramic polymer #Chemical reaction of elements #Sintering at a relatively low temperature in the range #Electrophoretic deposition of a ceramic powder Procedures one, two and three find applications with non-oxide CMCs, whereas the fourth one is used for oxide CMCs; combinations of these procedures are also practiced.

Noticing that Clock Town is empty, she attempts to enter the buildings in the area, but all but one are inaccessible. Upon entering this building, Sarah finds herself in the code with Rosa and the rest of the humans digitized into Majora's Mask. They argue over whether to let the Moon fall and just reset everything, which Rosa believes will not result in what the rest expects it to, or to allow Sarah to preform the day four glitch, at the risk of unleashing the already looming Father all over again. Ultimately, Sarah races to the Observatory and prepares to preform the glitch — however, the choice to actually do it is left up to the players.

The use of thermoset plastic compounds characterizes this molding process from many of the other molding processes. These thermosets can be in either preform or granule shapes. Unlike some of the other processes we find that the materials are usually preheated and measured before molding. This helps to reduce excess flash.

Flash can account for 20 to 45% of the starting material. The disadvantages of this process included: additional cost due to a more complex die design, the need for better lubrication, and better workpiece placement. There are other variations of part formation that integrate impression-die forging. One method incorporates casting a forging preform from liquid metal.
|
|
This step is done by continuous glass melting and moulding in single-sided metal moulds. This process is only suitable for high production volumes. For smaller production volumes, the preforms have to be manufactured by mechanical material-removing steps from blocks or slices of raw glass. #Precision glass moulding: In this step the preform is directly formed into an optical glass lens.
|
|
It is necessary to clean the glass preform and the mould before starting the process, but there is no polishing or post-machining required. #Lens coating: An antireflection coating is applied to the finished lenses. The lenses are first cleaned, and then loaded into a fixture. The fixture, containing a large number of lenses, is placed in the coating machine.

Segmented functionally graded material In materials science Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) may be characterized by the variation in composition and structure gradually over volume, resulting in corresponding changes in the properties of the material. The materials can be designed for specific function and applications. Various approaches based on the bulk (particulate processing), preform processing, layer processing and melt processing are used to fabricate the functionally graded materials.

One of the significant advantages of T-DCF is the simplicity of production. The preform production for special high power fibers (microstructured rod type fibers, 3C or LCF fibers) involves complex technology and strict structural requirements. Conversely, T-DCF is made using standard fiber preforms. Simple production techniques of varying of the drawing speed during the pulling process leads to the fiber diameter changing along its length.

Some of the most commonly used curing agents in the advanced composite industry are the aromatic amines. Two of the most common are methylene-dianiline (MDA) and sulfonyldianiline (DDS). SiC–SiC matrix composites are a high-temperature ceramic matrix processed from preceramic polymers (polymeric SiC precursors) to infiltrate a fibrous preform to create a SiC matrix. Several other types of curing agents are also used in the advanced composite industry.

The casting this then removed after it is cooled to a solid state, but while still hot. It is then finished in a single cavity die. The flash is trimmed and then quenched to room temperature to harden the part. Another variation follows the same process as outlined above, except the preform is produced by the spraying deposition of metal droplet into shaped collectors (similar to the osprey process).

|
Three-dimensional composites use fiber preforms constructed from yarns or tows arranged into complex three-dimensional structures. These can be created from a 3D weaving process, a 3D knitting process, a 3D braiding process, or a 3D lay of short fibers. A resin is applied to the 3D preform to create the composite material. Three-dimensional composites are used in highly engineered and highly technical applications in order to achieve complex mechanical properties.
|
|
Z-yarn is placed in the through-thickness direction of the preform. In 3D orthogonal woven fabric there is no interlacing between warp and weft yarns and they are straight and perpendicular to each other. On the other hand, z-yarns combine the warp and the weft layers by interlacing (moving up and down) along the y-direction over the weft yarn. Interlacing occurs on the top and the bottom surface of the fabric.

Insulation can be thicker where it affects dexterity least, and thinner where more sensitivity is needed. Long term grip strength is reduced by fatigue. If the glove requires effort to close the hand to hold an object, this will eventually tire the muscles involved, and grip will weaken sooner than when affected by cold alone. This is mitigated by gloves with a preform to fit a partly closed hand, and by more flexible glove materials.
|
|
The process temperature is above , that is above the melting point of silicon, and the process conditions are controlled such that the carbon fibers of the C/C-preform almost completely retain their mechanical properties. This process is called liquid silicon infiltration (LSI). Sometimes, and because of its starting point with C/C, the material is abbreviated as C/C-SiC. The material produced in this process has a very low porosity of about 3%.
|
|
Flux-less techniques are therefore desirable there. For successful soldering and brazing, the oxide layer has to be removed from both the surfaces of the materials and the surface of the filler metal preform; the exposed surfaces also have to be protected against oxidation during heating. Flux-coated preforms can also be used to eliminate flux residue entirely from the soldering process. Protection of the surfaces against further oxidation is relatively simple, by using vacuum or inert atmosphere.

Fibre preforms are how the fibres are manufactured before being bonded to the matrix. Fibre preforms are often manufactured in sheets, continuous mats, or as continuous filaments for spray applications. The four major ways to manufacture the fibre preform is through the textile processing techniques of weaving, knitting, braiding and stitching. #Weaving can be done in a conventional manner to produce two-dimensional fibres as well as in a multilayer weaving that can create three-dimensional fibres.

During the digestive process of the bonnethead shark, the acidic stomach weakens the cell walls of the seagrass and allows for beta-glucosidase to enter the cell and digest the cellulose. Interestingly, the activity level is on par with the monkeyface eel. The monkeyface eel is an herbivore, meaning that the bonnethead is able to preform the same digestive activity has an organism that is an herbivore. Therefore, the bonnethead shark is now classified as an omnivore.

Additive manufacturing of ceramics from preceramic polymers: A versatile stereolithographic approach assisted by thiol-ene click chemistry, Additive Manufacturing 2019, volume 27 pages 80-90 To manufacture a CMC material, the fiber preform is infiltrated with the chosen polymer. Subsequent curing and pyrolysis yield a highly porous matrix, which is undesirable for most applications. Further cycles of polymer infiltration and pyrolysis are performed until the final and desired quality is achieved. Usually, five to eight cycles are necessary.

Aluminum engine blocks typically require cast iron cylinder liners due to poor wear characteristics of aluminum. Porsche is using MMCs for cylinder liners by integrating a porous silicon preform into the cast aluminum block, and Honda uses a similar method incorporating alumina and carbon fibers in the bores of die cast aluminum[5]. These practices improve wear characteristics and cooling efficiency over cast iron liners.UWM developed aluminum alloy pistons and cylinder liners containing dispersed graphite particles that provide solid lubrication[6].

Vascular systems have a number of advantages over microcapsule based systems, such as the ability to continuously deliver large volumes of repair agents and the potential to be used for repeated healing. The hollow channels themselves can also be used for additional functionality, such as thermal management and structural health monitoring. A number of methods have been proposed for the introduction of these vascules, including the use of hollow glass fibres (HGFs), 3D printing, a "lost wax" process and a solid preform route.

In this method the Pol a-synthesized primer is removed. Studies show that in the FEN1 suggest a ‘tracking; model where the nuclease moves from the 5’ flap to its base to preform cleavage. The Pol δ does not process a nuclease activity to cleave the displaced flap. The FEN1 cleaves the short flap immediately after they form. The cleavage is inhibited when the 5’ end of the DNA flap is blocked either with a complementary primer or a biotin-conjugated streptavidin moiety.

Ljungman's company 3P PreForm Marketing and Research began performing research and development work for Gizmondo Europe in 2003 and was paid $7.6 million. After Gizmondo Europe's bankruptcy in early 2006, the liquidators had outstanding questions about Ljungman and his company's involvement with Gizmondo Europe Ltd; they were perfectly satisfied with Ljungman's answers. In May 2008, Carl Freer bought Gizmondo Europe's intellectual property rights. Ljungman worked with Freer on the relaunch of the Gizmondo, with Freer calling him his "co-pilot".

Originally, the manufacture of the photosensitive optical fiber and the 'writing' of the fiber Bragg grating were done separately. Today, production lines typically draw the fiber from the preform and 'write' the grating, all in a single stage. As well as reducing associated costs and time, this also enables the mass production of fiber Bragg gratings. Mass production is in particular facilitating applications in smart structures utilizing large numbers (3000) of embedded fiber Bragg gratings along a single length of fiber.

This process is used to manufacture oxide fiber/oxide matrix CMC materials. Since most ceramic fibers cannot withstand the normal sintering temperatures of above , special precursor liquids are used to infiltrate the preform of oxide fibers. These precursors allow sintering, that is ceramic-forming processes, at temperatures of 1000–1200 °C. They are, for example, based on mixtures of alumina powder with the liquids tetra-ethyl-orthosilicate (as Si donor) and aluminium-butylate (as Al donor), which yield a mullite matrix.

Sketch of the principle of the tailored fiber placement manufacturing process Based on embroidery machinery used in the garment textile industry, the machines have been adapted to deposit and stitch fiber roving material onto a base material. Roving material, mostly common carbon fibers, from about 3,000 up to 50,000 filaments can be applied. The preform is produced continuously by the placement of a single roving. The roving material pulled off a spool is guided by a pipe which is positioned in front of the stitching needle.

Preform of a carbon layer heating structure Using the carbon roving as an electric heating element offers the possibility to manufacture composite structures with embedded heating layers. Due to the high flexibility in the design of the heating pattern an overall nearly equal heat distribution can be achieved. In terms of applications this technology embedded in solid composite molds is very beneficial for resin consolidation and binder activation in out- of-autoclave processes. Composite molds show similar heat expansion properties as the manufactured composite parts.

Subsequent sublimation of the ice within the SSZ yields a green ceramic preform with porosity in a nearly exact replica of these ice crystals. The microstructure of a freeze-cast within the SSZ is defined by its wavelength (λ) which is the average thickness of a single ceramic wall plus its adjacent macropore. Several publications have reported the effects of solidification kinetics on the microstructures of freeze-cast materials. It has been shown that λ follows an empirical power-law relationship with solidification velocity (υ) (Eq.

The composites division develops methods, processes and fully automated production plants for the manufacture of fiber-reinforced components. Some of the manufacturing processes are the Long Fiber Thermoplastics (LFT) Molding process, the Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) process and the High-Pressure Resin Transfer Molding (HP-RTM) process, among others. To mass-produce carbon fiber components using the HP-RTM process, Dieffenbacher produces fully automated, ready-to-use production lines that include a Preform Center. They additionally manufacture production lines for hybrid components as well as liquid resin press molding systems.

NASA's Stardust sample return capsule successfully landed at the USAF Utah Range. Phenolic-impregnated carbon ablator (PICA), a carbon fiber preform impregnated in phenolic resin, is a modern TPS material and has the advantages of low density (much lighter than carbon phenolic) coupled with efficient ablative ability at high heat flux. It is a good choice for ablative applications such as high-peak-heating conditions found on sample-return missions or lunar-return missions. PICA's thermal conductivity is lower than other high-heat-flux-ablative materials, such as conventional carbon phenolics.

The degree of homogeneity in pore distribution of the final product is primarily dependent on the adequacy of mixing of the precursor. The difference in particle size between the titanium powders and the spacers directly impacts the ability to adequately mix the preform. The greater the size difference, the more difficult it is to control this process. Nonhomogeneous mixing resulting from the use of spacers considerably larger than the titanium particles employed and has shown adverse effects in the stability of the precursor after removal of spacer and in the distribution of porosity.

A notable derivative of GeCl4 is germanium dioxide. In the manufacture of optical fibers, silicon tetrachloride, SiCl4, and germanium tetrachloride, GeCl4, are introduced with oxygen into a hollow glass preform, which is carefully heated to allow for oxidation of the reagents to their respective oxides and formation of a glass mixture. The GeO2 has a high index of refraction, so by varying the flow rate of germanium tetrachloride the overall index of refraction of the optical fiber can be specifically controlled. The GeO2 is about 4% by weight of the glass.

With this method, one material located between the fibers reacts with a second material to form the ceramic matrix. Some conventional ceramics are also manufactured by chemical reactions. For example, reaction-bonded silicon nitride (RBSN) is produced through the reaction of silicon powder with nitrogen, and porous carbon reacts with silicon to form reaction bonded silicon carbide, a silicon carbide which contains inclusions of a silicon phase. An example of CMC manufacture, which was introduced for the production of ceramic brake discs, is the reaction of silicon with a porous preform of C/C.

However, multilayer weaving requires multiple layers of warp yarns to create fibres in the z-direction, creating a few disadvantages in manufacturing, namely the time to set up all the warp yarns on the loom. Therefore, most multilayer weaving is currently used to produce relatively narrow width products, or high value products where the cost of the preform production is acceptable. Another one of the main problems facing the use of multilayer woven fabrics is the difficulty in producing a fabric that contains fibres oriented at other than right angles to each other. #The second major way of manufacturing fibre preforms is Braiding.

To solve this problem, signal processing, physical wind guards/filters, multiple sensors for spatial averaging, and wind hose/pipe filtering techniques could have been used. It was shown that wind barriers could be used for wind noise reduction as they break up turbulence and effectively preform spatial average on turbulence scales smaller than the size of the barrier. Microporous hoses stemming from a central microphone were used for applications where the source direction is unknown. These hoses make the filter’s instrument response and wind–noise reduction uniform for all signals and wind directions, simplifying the array process.

Several large fiberglass tanks at an airport Storage tanks can be made of fiberglass with capacities up to about 300 tonnes. Smaller tanks can be made with chopped strand mat cast over a thermoplastic inner tank which acts as a preform during construction. Much more reliable tanks are made using woven mat or filament wound fiber, with the fiber orientation at right angles to the hoop stress imposed in the sidewall by the contents. Such tanks tend to be used for chemical storage because the plastic liner (often polypropylene) is resistant to a wide range of corrosive chemicals.

The vibrating chamfered tip of the Z-pins locally heats up and softens the resin allowing the Z-fibre to penetrate the preform with minimal disruption of the long fibres. The remaining pin and laminate above the surface are removed to create a smooth and even surface The surface can be finished with a coating to seal the Z-pins inside the material. A hand-held ultrasonic gun can also be used to insert Z-pins on a small scale production. This is ideal for testing materials containing Z-pins because they can be easily inserted into any location on the material.

Both VARTM and RTM are closed mold processes where pressure is used to inject resin into the mold. There are few differences in the materials used in VARTM vs RTM, with the resin and fiber basically being the same for both processes. Therefore if factors such as fiber to resin ratio and cross- sectional fiber distribution were held constant for each process, the molded part performances would be similar. RTM has a fiber preform placed between mold halves, while VARTM uses the bottom part of the mold tool and a vacuum bag with resin flow caused by the use of a vacuum.

Thicker gold coatings are usually limited to use with indium-based solders and solders with high gold content. Removal of the oxides from the solder preform is also troublesome. Fortunately some alloys are able to dissolve the surface oxides in their bulk when superheated by several degrees above their melting point; the Sn-Cu1 and Sn-Ag4 require superheating by 18-19 °C, the Sn-Sb5 requires as little as 10 °C, but the Sn-Pb37 alloy requires 77 °C above its melting point to dissolve its surface oxide. The self-dissolved oxide however degrades the solder's properties and increases its viscosity in molten state, this approach is therefore not optimal.

In 2013, Nexus Group secured commitments of US$600 million for their second institutional fund, Nexus Group Capital Partners II, L.P., after the quick success of the first one. With the commitments secured, the fund made substantial contributions and capital injections to previous fund corporations such as Financiera Uno and Grupo UTP, and acquired San Miguel Industrias PET in 2013, a preform and bottle manufacturer with regional presence, Zegel IPAE in 2014, Intralot de Peru in 2016 and Quicorp and Sinea in 2018. The Quicorp acquisition later became a merge with Inkafarma under a singular entity named InRetail Pharma. Nexus Group also invested in several schools and universities.

Grade II listed Phoenix prefabs in Wake Green Road, Birmingham The Phoenix, designed by Laing and built by themselves as well as partners McAlpine and Henry Boot, looked much like an AIROH with a central front door, but was far less aesthetically pleasing. It was a two-bedroom in-situ preform design with steel frame, asbestos clad walls and an innovative roof of tubular steel poles with steel panels attached. Like all designs, it came pre-painted in magnolia, with green highlights on frames and skirting. Phoenix prefabs cost £1,200 each constructed onsite, while the specially insulated version designed for use on the Isle of Lewis in the Hebrides cost £2,000.

The microstructure of a 3D woven composite is mainly determined by the fiber architecture to the woven preform and weaving process, and to a lesser extent by the process of consolidation.Various types of defects are inadvertently created during the 3D weaving process that can possibly degrade the in-plane, through-thickness, and impact properties of the 3D composite. Research has found that testing various 3D composite materials that " ...the strength is the same or slightly higher than an equivalent two-dimensional (2D) material." When compared to a 2D composite, the impact resistance, compression after impact (CAI), and delamination control is significantly improved with a 3D composite without significantly reducing the mechanical properties along the plane.

If the goal of the reduction strategy is to produce flakes, the remnant lithic core may be discarded once it has become too small to use. In some strategies, however, a flintknapper reduces the core to a rough unifacial or bifacial preform, which is further reduced using soft hammer flaking techniques or by pressure flaking the edges. More complex forms of reduction include the production of highly standardized blades, which can then be fashioned into a variety of tools such as scrapers, knives, sickles and microliths. In general terms, chipped stone tools are nearly ubiquitous in all pre-metal-using societies because they are easily manufactured, the tool stone is usually plentiful, and they are easy to transport and sharpen.

Its use ranges between 12 and 16 hours/day. Its effectiveness lies to the arrays surrounding pressures to the digital preform and the cuneiform adhesions on the structure of one and only typical vertebra at the time, with their application during the construction of the brace. The arrays surrounding pressures on a deformed spine minimize the resistance of the spine at the deformed area (hump of dynamic type) as well as axial compression forces (Delmas index), disarm the mechanism of turn - side bend at the thoracic part (which accompanies the deformation of Cobb's angle in idiopathic scoliosis), as well as the mechanical resistance, limiting the amplitude of movements of the thoracic spine, as well as of the side bend (Krassa, 2006).

Unlike the four- step process, the two-step process does not require mechanical compaction: the motions involved in the process allows the braid to be pulled tight by yarn tension alone. The last type of braiding is multi-layer interlocking braiding that consists of a number of standard circular braiders being joined together to form a cylindrical braiding frame. This frame has a number of parallel braiding tracks around the circumference of the cylinder but the mechanism allows the transfer of yarn carriers between adjacent tracks forming a multilayer braided fabric with yarns interlocking to adjacent layers. The multilayer interlock braid differs from both the four-step and two-step braids in that the interlocking yarns are primarily in the plane of the structure and thus do not significantly reduce the in-plane properties of the preform.
