Needle punching is a textile manufacturing technique used to create non-woven fabrics. It involves using a barbed needle to repeatedly pierce layers of fiber, entangling them together to form a cohesive material. This process is commonly used to produce carpets, mats, and insulation materials. The technique is efficient and versatile, allowing for various fiber types, including wool, polyester, and nylon. Needle punching can create different textures and thicknesses, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in both industrial and consumer products.
