Stab protective clothing is used in a wide range of applications, including military and police applications, but is also becoming increasingly important for civilian users. A relatively new way of manufacturing personal protective equipment is additive manufacturing. This makes it possible to produce new types of stab protection geometries by applying polymer layers to textiles. Such composite structures represent a mechanical system of rigid bodies with constraints, especially with large continuous protective surfaces. As a result, the wearing comfort is limited. This paper presents two methods for numerically simulating the forming of reinforced textiles with solid polymer elements over the body as part of the development and optimization process of such garments.
