QISO Braided Triaxial Fabric

Composite tooling made faster, easier, and more affordable. No autoclave required.

Rethink High-Temp Tooling with QISO: No Autoclave, No Prepreg Lead Times

Traditionally, high-temperature tooling (250°F and above) relies on autoclaves and pre-impregnated reinforcements. This approach, while required for some applications, comes with higher upfront costs, production constraints, longer lead times, and prepreg shelf-life concerns.

With QISO and the C1 Tooling Advantage, these concerns are significantly reduced. QISO Braided Triaxial Fabric is a lower-cost, low-scrap, out-of-autoclave tooling solution that delivers premium quality and faster turnaround, without compromise. The Composites One Technical Team is available to help customers evaluate whether this innovative braided fabric aligns with their process requirements and performance goals.

QISO Fabric is Engineered for Simplicity and Built for Performance.

  • Simple & Efficient Processing: No need to orient plies. QISO braided fabric offers uniform strength in every direction for easy, quick layup.

  • Significant Ply Reduction: One layer of QISO replaces several of traditional woven, lowering labor and cost.

  • Superior Fiber Architecture: Triaxial (+/-60° and 0°) design lets every fiber move independently, forming easily into complex shapes. Fewer cuts and overlaps yield consistent thickness and better heat transfer.

  • No z-axis Stitching: Mechanically locked with minimal crimp, eliminating microcracks and enabling superior drape.

  • Low Scrap & Waste: Balanced stack, fewer cuts, and custom widths can reduce scrap by up to 40%.

  • Outstanding Resin Flow & Strength: Enhanced through-thickness flow creates laminates with up to 56% fiber volume; voids remain under 1% which is on par with the best RTM and prepreg approaches.

  • Proven Performance: QISO outperforms woven fabrics in tension, compression, and impact resistance.
