3D Spacer Fabrics

Good morning textile enthusiasts! 
Keeping this blog is all about reporting on topics I find most interesting as well as serving of an account of my activities and research during my final semester of graduate school.   This semester I am taking a class in Woven and Knit Structures and Properties.  As a requirement of this class, we have been assigned a topic paper and presentation from a variety of categories.  I selected spacer fabrics, specifically for automotive usage.  I have been very interested in this construction technique because I believe it gives a fresh, funky, and innovative spin on the automotive seat.  My research has converted me into even more of an enthusiast as I have uncovered the extreme benefits of using this material over conventional seating components.  I have included my slide below, but these only touch on the surface of my research.  As always, if you'd like more information on the topic or have any questions, please feel free to contact me by posting a comment or emailing me directly.
