Abstract
A network-like woven 3D fabric material includes select multilayer warp yarns occurring substantially linearly, the remainder multilayer warp yarns occurring in a helical configuration and two orthogonal sets of weft. This network-like fabric construction is made possible through a dual-directional shedding operation of the weaving process. Such a fabric may additionally incorporate non-interlacing multi-directionally oriented yarns across the fabric cross section to improve the fabric's mechanical performance. The produced 3D fabric material, which may be cut into any desired shape without the risk of splitting, may be used wholly or in parts in technical applications.
