Abstract (en)
[origin: DE19616005A1] A process is disclosed for producing a three-dimensional knitted fabric, i.e. a knitted fabric with a spatially shaped surface. A homogeneous, resistant and three-dimensional knitted structure is achieved by augmenting/diminishing the number of stitches in certain areas. The number of stitches is augmented/diminished at many spots which are uniformly distributed over the surface which is to be three-dimensionally shaped. In the same way, a three-dimensional knitted fabric may be produced by inactivating at least partially the knitting needles in the area to be shaped over at least one row of stitches (12, 14, 16), and later by reactivating them, while the stitches in other areas (18) continue to be knitted.
