Conventional Flat Woven Structure
Appearance: A thin, two-dimensional form with warp and weft yarns interwoven only in a plane, lacking a distinct three-dimensional skeleton in the thickness direction.

Identification Points: Clear twill and plain weave patterns are visible; some special models feature oblique/triaxial interweaving, without layered hollow features.

Typical Categories: Triaxial woven fabrics, composite knitted fabrics, often used in industrial wrapping and general protective applications.

 

3D Structure
Appearance: Possesses a distinct three-dimensional thickness; some may exhibit tubular, T-shaped, or other irregular cross-sections, with connecting yarns running through the thickness direction internally.

Identification Points: Unlayered overall; fibers are continuously interwoven in three-dimensional space; some 3D mesh fabrics show vertical supporting monofilaments between upper and lower layers.

Typical Categories: 3D woven prefabricated structures, three-dimensional spacer mesh fabrics, often used in aerospace components, breathable cushioning mattresses, etc.

 

Special Functional Structure

Appearance: Coatings, composite films, or special fiber arrangements are superimposed on the basic woven structure, resulting in additional features such as waterproof membranes and antibacterial coatings.

Identification Points: Functional testing verifies exclusive properties such as flame retardancy, waterproof breathability, and UV protection. Some models utilize non-woven fiber webs, eliminating the traces of traditional warp and weft yarn interweaving.
