Summary:PURPOSE: A process and apparatus to rapidly form a flat or shaped fabric and the fabric formed thereby consisting of groups of yarn densely covering an area, are provided. CONSTITUTION: A fabric structure comprises: a plurality of groups of yarn densely covering an area the yarns within one group following substantially parallel paths and the yarns in one group arranged to cross yarns in another group; a plurality of subgroups comprising each group, each subgroup comprising a plurality of yarns sparsely covering the area, and the yarns in one subgroup of one group offset from the yarns in the other subgroups in the one group; a plurality of connections between the top subgroup of the structure and the bottom subgroup of the structure either directly or through the yarns in other subgroups such that connection between crossing points of yarn groups occur at from 0.3% to 80% of the times the yarns cross.
