A method of preparing a tufting process for tufting a fabric comprises the steps of: a) selecting at least one object to be shown on a tufted fabric as a three-dimensional tufting structure element (), b) three-dimensionally scanning the at least one object for providing a set of three-dimensional scan data representing at least a portion of the three-dimensional structure of the at least one object, c) providing a set of tufting instruction data on the basis of the three-dimensional scan data, the tufting instruction data, in association with the at least one three-dimensional tufting structure element () to be tufted, comprising information relating to at least one tufting aspect of the piles to be tufted for providing the at least one three-dimensional tufting structure element ().

Method of preparing a tufting process for tufting a fabric, in particular carpet

A fabric includes a backing fabric having binding warp yarns, weft yarns, and pile warp yarns interlaced with the weft yarns. In a weft receiving opening, one of the weft yarns is positioned at a back side relative to a weft separating warp yarn extending in the backing fabric in the warp direction and the other weft yarn is positioned at the pile side. A pile warp yarn is interlaced with the weft yarn positioned at the back side relative to the weft separating warp yarn to extend out of the backing fabric between this weft yarn and the other weft yarn. In a transition zone, two transition weft yarns provided immediately adjacent to each other in the warp direction extending through a weft receiving opening are positioned at substantially the same level in a direction that is perpendicular with a plane defined by the warp and weft directions and/or are not separated by a weft separating warp yarn.
