Abstract: An apparatus for weaving a three-dimensional article from a plurality of weaving elements comprising a plurality of carrier members each including a separate weaving element supply mounted thereon. The separate weaving elements are fed from the weaving element supplies to a plane of fabrication. Supporting means is provided for releasably maintaining the carrier members in a matrix to form a carrier plane. Movement means is provided to move the carrier members in predetermined paths relative to each other within the matrix to intertwine the weaving elements to form the woven article. A takeup means is provided to draw the woven article away from the carrier plane.
