Our Expertise IN 3D WEAVING

Protecting complex shapes and volumes

As experts in 3D weaving, we have developed and patented a unique 3D Interlock weave structure. This technology provides our textiles with exceptional properties: flexibility, formability, and high impact resistance. Our technical 3D fabrics are developed from aramid fibers, UHMWPE, and natural fibers.

Patented Fabric

Our innovations rely on an advanced 3D weaving architecture and a unique manufacturing process.

3D Weaving Quality

Thanks to an ISO 9001 quality approach (currently in progress) and the use of new-generation equipment

Woven in France

Our specialized 3D weaving factory is proudly based in Caudry, Hauts-de-France.

    PATENTED 3D WEAVING: A Disruptive Innovation

    Properties & Performance Previously Incompatible


    Extreme Impact Resistance

    Up to 93% Energy Absorbed

    Whether muscular, mechanical, or ballistic in origin, our 3D fabrics, utilizing our patented 3D weaving technology, are capable of absorbing up to 93% of the kinetic energy generated during impact, while significantly reducing internal deformation (trauma).

    Designed from high-performance fibers (such as aramid fibers, e.g., Twaron®), this impact protection fabric combines lightness, formability, and optimal resistance. Our multi-layer 3D fabrics can be used in numerous applications, ranging from defense and security equipment to industrial, sports, and aerospace solutions.

    Multi-layered formable ballistic 3D fabric for impact protection

    FORMABLE WITHOUT PERFORMANCE LOSS

    Perfect Formability Without Performance Loss

    Our flexible and formable multi-layer 3D fabrics can be adjusted by folding, forming, or draping to perfectly conform to all material or morphological shapes, from the simplest to the most complex.

    Even on sharp curves, its technical performance, particularly regarding impact, remains intact, ensuring optimal protection.

    Designed from high-performance fibers such as Kevlar®, Twaron®, and Dyneema®, these ballistic and impact protection fabrics combine exceptional lightness, strength, and flexibility.

    Formable 3D fabric: folded, molded, draped

    100% 3D Woven - No Additives

    Recyclable & easy to defibrate

    Our 3D weaving and its formability require no additives or heat. Our multi-layer 3D fabrics are therefore 100% fiber-composed, without any resin, making them entirely recyclable.

    As a French manufacturer of 3D fabrics for impact and ballistic protection, we offer flexible and formable solutions combining performance, durability, and environmental responsibility. Thanks to this design, our 3D fabrics can be reused or transformed for new applications, contributing to a more responsible textile industry.

    Ideal for composite reinforcement

    Fibers, Resin Infusion, Impregnation, Coating...

    Our high-performance 3D textiles are used as reinforcements in composite materials for aeronautics, automotive, and construction. These innovative fabrics with a three-dimensional structure offer excellent mechanical strength while contributing to part weight reduction. Thanks to their unique architecture, they also serve as spacers and technical connectors, while maintaining their shape and volume. As true cutting-edge solutions, our flexible and formable fabrics provide resistance, lightness, and durability for the most demanding applications.

    A versatile and easy-to-industrialize multi-layer 3D fabric

    Our innovative 3D fabrics offer unique ease of industrialization

    Their design allows for precise cutting without material loss, easy shaping on complex geometries, all without material addition or heat input. Their three-dimensional structure enables rapid integration into assembly processes. Used as reinforcements in composites, our impact protection fabrics effectively strengthen parts while simplifying implementation. Flexible and formable, they easily adapt to production constraints while ensuring lightness and mechanical performance. Finally, as a French manufacturer with a production unit exclusively dedicated to 3D weaving, Tibeka ensures a reliable, fast, and homogeneous supply, perfectly adapted to the most demanding industrial needs.
