A network-like woven 3D fabric material includes select multilayer warp yarns occurring substantially linearly, the remainder multilayer warp yarns occurring in a helical configuration and two orthogonal sets of weft. This network-like fabric construction is made possible through a dual-directional shedding operation of the weaving process. Such a fabric may additionally incorporate non-interlacing multi-directionally oriented yarns across the fabric cross section to improve the fabric's mechanical performance. The produced 3D fabric material, which may be cut into any desired shape without the risk of splitting, may be used wholly or in parts in technical applications.

1. A woven 3D fabric material, comprising:a multilayer warp comprising yarns which occur in accordance with a cross-sectional profile of the fabric and two orthogonal sets of weft yarns such that first yarns of the multilayer warp occur substantially linearly, and second yarns of the multilayer warp occur in a helix configuration such that the second warp yarns occur in an interlacing manner with the two orthogonal sets of weft yarns and link the two sets of weft yarns to the first warp yarns in a manner that the second warp yarns do not occur in the helix configuration about any of the first warp yarns comprising the fabric material.
