The Study on 3D Weaving Method for Tubular Fabric

A 3D weaving method for tubular fabric was advanced in this paper. Warp yarns are input axially, weft yarns and binding yarns are inserted into the fabric circumferentially by shuttles which connecting warp yarns not only within weaving plane but also through thickness of the fabric. Due to the specially designed shedding order and under the pull force of shuttles, warp yarns could be bound without beating.
