Abstract: By introducing reinforcing fibers in the thickness direction of the prefabricated fabric, the stitching technology can change 2D lay-up compo-sites into quasi-3D composites, which significantly improves the delamination resistance and damage tolerance of the composites, and is widely used in military and civil applications. However, since the stitching technique requires a large operating space between the upper and lower parts of the sewing machine, which poses a higher challenge to the stitching equipment, and the through-thickness stitching threads reduce the in-plane properties of the resulting composite, the production and preparation of high-performance fiber-reinforced composites can be greatly limited. In this case, a new one-side stitching technique has come into being. Tufting suture is a kind of one-side stitching technique in which a Tufting needle carries the thread from one side of the prefabricated fabric through a piercing and retracting motion, leaving the thread inside the fabric by friction without tension. This technology saves operation space, reduces the development cost of large-scale stitching equipment, and reduces the defects of composite materials, providing a solution for the sewing of shaped large thickness fabrics, making it a highly promising Z-directional reinforcement technology for composite materials. The Tufting suture technique field mainly focuses on three aspects: automated Tufting suture technology, forming technology of prefabricated fabrics, and the preparation and characterization techniques of tufted composite materials. In recent years, the size, complexity, preparation, and for-ming efficiency of tufted composite materials have been greatly improved. However, Tufting suture technology has certain limitations in terms of quality stability, efficiency, structure, and the size of composite materials, and it is difficult to achieve widespread industrial products and applications. This paper mainly reviews the development status of Tufting suture technology, the types of Tufting suture devices, and the latest technological progress. The influence of Tufting suture parameters on the formation and performance of fabric preforms are analyzed, and the characterization analysis of mechanical properties and micro-damage of the Tufting composite are summarized. Finally,urgent problems and some main directions in this field are proposed.
