Abstract
A three-dimension fabric by which a three-dimension fabric surface can be formed by supporting the fabric edges by a frame member and stretching the fabric, wherein the fabric per se, which constitutes the fabric surface, is provided with at least one heterogeneous portion that is different at least in yarn type and/or fabric structure type from the adjacent portion. Thus, the three-dimension fabric can be easily made into a construct of a desirable shape without using a frame having a complicated shape.
