The shuttle loom technology is one of the oldest weaving methods. A shuttle with yarn quill continuously inserts the weft yarn. This technology allows the production of flat fabrics with woven edges and seamless tubular fabrics.

Today, shuttle loom woven fabrics are mainly used for technical and medical applications like filters, vascular grafts or composites.

In combination with a jacquard to control the warp threads and multiple weft insertions with several shuttles in staggered position it is possible to produce multidimensional webbings and multilayer fabrics with complexe weaving constructions.
