The products thus obtained, wound or "cabled", are essentially intermediate products destined for the usual downstream textile operations (transformation into staple fibers, texturing, weaving, knitting, etc.) or for certain types of composite manufacturing technology. Defined in this way, textile spinning belongs to the group of processes known as "material shaping" (essentially,...
