Abstract
A three-dimensional fabric is woven by disposing a large number of contiguous rotors in columns and rows in an area in which carriers move about, with a carrier holding a thread being held between a pair of adjoining rotors. One of the paired rotors turns to move the carrier held between them while using the other rotor as a guide to help the transfer of the carrier. The carrier is caused to move along a predetermined path by repeating the above cycle.
