Weaving 3D Shell-Shaped Fabrics Using Discontinuous and Curved Weft Rows
This paper introduces a novel method for weaving 3D shell-shaped fabrics directly on the loom by using the Variable Reed, a hardware modification that allows variable dent positioning along the warp. With this reed, we weave discontinuous wefts (partial weft rows) and then apply different curved profiles to the weft y…
