Abstract

A method for manufacturing a three-dimensional fabric and a three-dimensional fabric using the same is provided. The method includes the steps of: selecting at least more than one yarn among nylon6, nylon66 and a super high tenacity yarn to be used as a warp yarn and a filling yarn; weaving the selected warp and filling yarns to produce a basis fabric with ripstops; inserting the basis fabric into a dyer and dyeing the basis fabric by providing a predetermined concentration of a dye at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined period, so that a special pattern and a color are expressed on the basis fabric because of a difference in density, material characteristics and thermal transformation temperatures between the warp yarn and the filling yarn; and drying the dyed basis fabric for a predetermined period at room temperature to make the ripstops, the pattern and the color clear without deformation.
