3D Weaving Companies - Lindauer DORNIER GmbH (Germany) and Staubli International AG (Switzerland) are the Key Players

The global 3D weaving market is expected to grow from USD 32.8 million in 2025 to USD 59.7 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 12.7% during the forecast period.

This growth is driven by technological advancements in 3D weaving systems that have significantly improved textile manufacturing capabilities by enabling the creation of intricate, multi-axis woven structures that were previously difficult or impossible to produce. Modern looms, such as multi-layer Jacquard and specialized 3D weaving machines, offer high precision, programmable control, and automation features that streamline production processes.

Major 3D Weaving Companies Include:

• Lindauer DORNIER GmbH (Germany)
• Stäubli International AG (Switzerland)
• Unspun (US)
• Hefei Fanyuan Instrument Co., Ltd (China)
• VÚTS a.s. (Czech Republic)

The 3D weaving market features major players, such as  Lindauer DORNIER GmbH (Germany), Stäubli International AG (Switzerland), UNSPUN (US), Hefei Fanyuan Instrument Co., Ltd (China), and VÚTS a.s. (Czech Republic). These companies offer cutting-edge 3D weaving machinery and automation systems with advanced features like high-speed, multi-layer weaving, CAD/CAM integration, and digital control, enabling the efficient production of complex 3D textile structures.

In October 2024, UNSPUN partnered with Decathlon in 2024 to deploy its Vega 3D weaving technology across Europe, enabling on-demand, low-waste, and locally produced sportswear. The multi-year deal supports Decathlon’s sustainability goals and expands UNSPUN’s footprint through localized micro-factories.
