North 3Di Vs Fibre path Vs Carbon Laminate. Is the price worth it? How . . . 3Di vs other Load path Load sharing sails I do think 3Di as a material has advantages over the other versions on the market - it's process makes it a homogenous membrane rather than most other manufacturers who are still basically pressing strings between layers of laminate and then exterior taffetas for aesthetics longevity
