Résumé
Dynamic Air Shelters (DAS) is a Canadian company, a world leader in the field of portable blast resistantshelters. Dynamic Air Shelters designs and builds inflatable shelters for several applications, such as; disasterrelief, military and aircraft hangars, mining, industrial, promotional and sport facilities. DAS seek, through thisproject, to innovate by developing a new technology approach to manufacturing structural air beams. Currently,these beams are made by welding coated fabrics together. This method is not cost effective and becomesincreasingly complex with high performance materials and larger beams. This is limiting development of theshelters' design. DAS would like to innovate using braiding technology to produce a non-permeable air beam.CTT Group (GCTTG), with the Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe have developed an expertise in braiding.
