<p>A woven 3D fabric material comprises multilayer axial warp yarns and two orthogonal sets of weft which interlace with the rows and the columns of the warp respectively to provide integrity to the fabric which may additionally incorporate between the rows and the columns of the interlacing warp sets of non-interlacing multi-directionally orientated yarns in the fabric-length, -width, -thickness, and two diagonal directions respectively to improve the fabric's mechanical properties. The interlacing of the multilayer warp and the two orthogonal sets of weft is enabled by a dual-directional shedding means which forms sheds in the row-wise and the column wise directions of the multilayer warp. The produced woven 3D fabric material which may be cut into any desired shape without the risk of splitting up, may be wholly or in parts in technical applications.</p> |
