Warp knitted fabrics are produced with many threads and at least as many needles. In warp knitting, the threads run vertically, similar to warp threads in weaving, are picked up by the needles and pulled through the previously formed stitches of neighbouring threads. To create a surface and not individual bands of stitches (air stitches, also known as fringes), the needles do not all grip the same thread, but alternate between neighbouring threads. Different bind-offs are possible, whereby one or more threads can be skipped. (Source: Wikipedia)

A woven fabric is a textile fabric consisting of at least two thread systems, warp and weft, which intersect in a pattern at an angle of exactly or approximately 90° when viewed from the fabric surface. Each of the two systems may consist of several types of warp or weft (e.g. ground, pile and filling warp; ground, binding and filling weft). The warp threads run in the longitudinal direction of the fabric, parallel to the fabric edge, and the weft threads run in the transverse direction, parallel to the fabric edge. (Source: Wikipedia)

Braiding (from the Latin plectere, including the Old High German flehtan[1]) is the joining by hand or machine of thin and flexible materials (braiding elements) by regular interlacing or twisting to form a braid (source: Wikipedia).

Knitwear is the production of textile stitch structures from yarns by wrapping yarn around them, whereby the stitches in a row are formed one after the other. (Source: Wikipedia)

Conceal is the joining of several layers of the same or different materials (sometimes films) using suitable laminating agents (varnish, glue, wax). Lamination is used to protect and/or decorate a material and/or to add favourable material properties by applying the material on or under a layer with the desired properties or between two layers. (Source: Wikipedia)

Lamination (Latin: lamina “plate, disc, sheet”) refers to a thermal joining process without the use of auxiliary materials. It also refers to the bonding of a thin, often film-like layer to a substrate using an adhesive, and to the bonding of at least two film layers of a thermoplastic by reaching the glass transition temperature and applying the appropriate pressure. The term is also used for laminate. (Source: Wikipedia)

In manufacturing technology, coating is a major group of manufacturing processes according to DIN 8580, which are used to apply a firmly adhering layer of formless material to the surface of a workpiece. The process and the applied layer itself are also called coating. A coating can be a thin layer, a thick layer, or several contiguous layers; the distinction is not well defined and depends on the coating process and the application purpose. Coating processes are divided into chemical, mechanical, thermal and thermo-mechanical processes based on the type of coating application. (Source: Wikipedia)

Laser cutting, also known as laser beam cutting, refers to the cutting of solids by means of continuous or pulsed laser radiation through material ablation. Almost any type of material, such as metals, dielectrics and organic materials, can be cut using state-of-the-art laser radiation. The parameters of the laser radiation, such as wavelength, average power, pulse energy and pulse duration, must be adapted to the application. The microscopic ablation mechanism and the thermal effects are essentially determined by the pulse duration and the irradiance. (Source: Wikipedia)
