this thread has inspired me.....i am a textile major and here at school we have machines used by the medical textiles folks and the machines are used for making artificial arteries and veins......
plus we got a ton of kevlar (aramid) yarn around...... i wonder if they would let me hook up their woven artery machine up with kevlar in order to make some sweet sleeves for interconnects.....
the machine that makes those is awesome... it basically makes all the weft from just one yarn by spiraling it around and all the warp yarns run the length of the tube......
