Three-dimensional textile multilayer warps

The most relevant of these methods for medical textiles are the first two. Two-dimensional weaving can be used to produce three-dimensional fabrics (Fig. 4.9). A multilayer warp and weft can be used to produce interlaced 3D fabrics such as weft interlock and warp interlock (soUd, or one with core or spaced layers). The different layers of the multilayer warp can be interconnected in different ways, as shown in the figure. 

Three-dimensional structures produced using multilayer warps with two-dimensional technologies.The shedding involved in producing these may be dual-directional, (a) Multilayered, (b) solid type, warp interlock, (c) solid type, weft interlock, (d) core or sandwich type structures.
