Dear Colleagues,
TexEng Software Ltd in association with the University of Manchester, UK, and Zhongyuan University of Technology, China will organise the 9th World Conference in 3D Fabrics and Their Applications in Zhengzhou, China during 2-3 April 2020, hosted by the Zhongyuan University of Technology, one of the leaders in textile engineering education and research with strong research
activities in 3D textiles in China. Central to the meeting is the opportunity to discuss the latest concepts and share experiences in fabrication, performance and the use of design optimization tools across a wide spectrum of applications.
This series of conferences started in Manchester UK in 2008 by the late Professor John Hearle and Dr Xiaogang Chen of TexEng Software Ltd at the University of Manchester with more than 150 attendees from Industry and academia. The conference continued in Greenville, SC, USA in 2009, Wuhan, China in 2011, Aachen, Germany in 2012, Delhi, India in 2013, Raleigh, NC, USA in 2015, Roubaix, France in 2016, and returned to Manchester, UK in 2018 on its 10-year anniversary. It has become an important gathering of the global textile engineering and application communities. The conferences have proved to be popular among academic researchers as well as industrialists working in practical problems of textiles, 3D reinforced composite materials and structures.
In addition to the electronic proceedings to the 8th Conference, we also published a special issue with 25 selected papers in the Springer journal of Applied Composite Materials. We aim to publish another special issue and an edited book for the forthcoming event.

Deadline for ABSTRACT submission is 31 October 2019.
