METHOD OF FORMING AN IMAGED COMPOUND TEXTILE FABRIC

摘要

The present invention contemplates a method of forming a textile laminate or composite fabric from a plurality of woven fabric layers, with the method contemplating use of a three-dimensional image transfer device to facilitate efficient and commercially viable use of the method. Herein is disclosed a method of forming an imaged textile laminate or composite compound fabric, t he fabric having a first textile fabric layer (11) comprising a plurality of interwoven warp and weft yarns and at least one other textile fabric layer (10), the lamination of the fabric layers and imaging of the construct occurring on a three-dimensional image transfer device (18). The image transfer device (18) has a foraminous, image-forming surface comprising a regular pattern of three-dimensional surface elements.
