INTRODUCTION OF 2D WEAVING
• 2D weaving is a process of producing fabric by
interlacing two sets of yarn known as warp and weft
at 90 degree cross-over points.
• Drape-able, flexible, warmth, strong.
• Can have technical applications when high
performance fibers used.
• Example- plain, twill,etc.
WHAT IS 3D WEAVING
• The process of weaving in
which yarns are arranged into
complex three-dimensional
structures.
• Substantial dimension in
thickness direction
• 3 directions – X (longitudinal),
Y (cross), Z (vertical)
• 3D solid woven fabrics are manufactured by
incorporating and manipulating yarns in the length,
width, and the through-the-thickness directions.
• WARP yarns are called as X yarns
•WEFT are called as y yarns
•Through the thickness yarns are called Z yarns
(Binder yarns)
•Also called as a single fabric system.

Interlacement of yarns in 3D weaving
DEVICES
•Many of these structures can be made on the
conventional weaving machines with little or
no modification.
•There have been successful attempts in
developing new weaving devices, particularly
for making 3D woven fabrics
Conventional weaving machines
3 Methods -
• By effective utilization of warp and weft in
single layer.
• By the use of multi-layer warp and weft or
multi-layer ground warp, binder
• Conventional 2D process can also produce pile
fabrics by utilizing three sets of yarns, namely,
single-layer ground warp, pile yarns
New weaving devices
These new technologies arrange warp yarns in a 3D
form and allow weft yarns to be inserted at
different levels in one or two directions example-
Non interlacing weaving device.

• IIT DELHI- Airplane wings
FILTERATION, PAPERMAKING AND
GEOTEXTILES
Although single layer fabrics are used as filters-
cheesecloth is a notable example- adding layers
often improves performance . Filtration is one of the
most successful commercial applications of the
nanofibre assemblies.
MEDICAL FIELD
• vascular prosthesis ( implant is an artificial device )
• Materials such as nylon, Teflon, stainless steel, glass,
and Dacron polyester fibers have been found to be
highly suitable.
• These materials were found to be significantly stable
with regard to resistance to degradation, strength,
and were not adversely affected by other factors
SPORTS AND LEASURE
• Sports shoes
• 3D fabrics in underwear and outwear
• The open structures provide good heat and moisture
transfer
• Resistence to mechanical pressure maintains open
structures, controls the forces acting on the feet in
shoes and provides protection in extreme sports
where falls or crashes possible
• Knee braces
Sports shoes
PROTECTION
The aim is to prevent the projectile from penetrating
the fabric and causing any wound or at least reducing
the speed so that damage to the body is limited. 3D
fabrics can be used for soft body armor or as rigid
composites for helmets.
BODY ARMOR
CONCLUSION
3D weaving is a growing technology . Whilst
specialized machines are capable of making
3D woven fabric with considerable sizes, the
availability of such devices is much limited in
comparison to the prevalence of the
conventional weaving machines.
