An overview of two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) woven fabric net shapes addresses the weaving technologies used to manufacture these products. 3D weaving resembles 2D weaving but uses different warp yarn settings and fabfric takeups. In 2D weaving, all warp and filling yarns interlace. In 3D weaving, multiple layers of warp and filling yarn are arranged one above the other. Tubular fabrics consist of two 2D fabrics joined at the edges to form a seamless tube. Net shape 2D fabrics are woven on conventional looms with a modified takeup system that controls the fabric shape. Contour weaving yeidls continuous rolls of fabric with a shape woven into the cross direction. Net shape 3D woven fabrics are woven on the same looms as conventional 3D fabrics. Applications include fan blades and vanes for aircraft engines, bearing pads for cryogenic systems, and missile system components. Narrow net shape 3D woven fabrics form structural enhancements and subcomponents for larger structures.
