A three-dimensional woven fabric manufacturing method according to the present invention is characterized by including a step of forming a 4-axis yarn laminate LB of a desired thickness by using warps X, wefts Y, and a set of bias yarns B1, B2 to laminate a plurality of warp layers, a plurality of weft layers, and a plurality of layers each comprising the set of bias yarn layers, and a vertical yarn stitching step of stitching vertical yarns Z into the 4-axis yarn laminate from one surface of it in its laminating direction, and in that a three-dimensional woven fabric is formed by stitching the vertical yarn to fasten the warps X, wefts Y, and set of bias yarns B1, B2 together (Fig.3).<img id="" file="00000001.TIF" he="89" wi="80" img-content="drawing" img-format="tif" orientation="portrait" inline="no"/></p></abstract><search-report-data id="srep" lang="en" srep-office="EP" date-produced=""><doc-page id="srep0001" file="90000001.TIF" he="230" wi="151" type="tif"/><doc-page id="srep0002" file="90010001.TIF" he="232" wi="159" type="tif"/></search-report-data></ep-patent-document>
