3D-Weaving: Theory and Practice

The development of the first-ever dual-directional shedding system has now empirically validated the findings and the technical characterization of the 3D-weaving process presented about three years ago, which hypothesized that such an operation alone forms the basis for defining and carrying out the 3D-weaving process. Through this shedding operation it becomes possible to interlace a grid-like multiple-layer warp with vertical and horizontal...
