Shapeable fabric

A fabric stack comprising at least two layers of a shapeable fabric, each layer of the shapeable fabric comprising:

• first fibers comprising a plurality of glass fibers oriented in a first direction;
• second fibers comprising a plurality of glass fibers oriented in a second direction;
• and
• a stitching yarn,
• wherein the second direction is within 0 to 90 degrees of the first direction, and the stitching yarn forms a stitching pattern through the shapeable fabric and maintains the first and second fibers in their respective orientations,
• wherein the stitching yarn is an intermingled stitching yarn comprising a plurality of infusion filaments and a plurality of shaping filaments that are intermingled, and
• wherein the shaping filaments have a melting point of less than about 150° C., and the infusion filaments have a melting point of at least about 180° C., and
• wherein one layer of the shapeable fabric is directly disposed on another layer of the shapeable fabric.

A process for producing a shaped component, the process comprising:

• stacking a plurality of layers of a shapeable fabric to provide a fabric stack, each layer of the shapeable fabric comprising:
• first fibers comprising a plurality of glass fibers oriented in a first direction;
• second fibers comprising a plurality of glass fibers oriented in a second direction;
• and
• a stitching yarn,
• wherein the second direction is within 0 to 90 degrees of the first direction, and the stitching yarn forms a stitching pattern through the shapeable fabric and maintains the first and second fibers in their respective orientations,
• wherein the stitching yarn is an intermingled stitching yarn comprising a plurality of infusion filaments and a plurality of shaping filaments that are intermingled, and
• wherein the shaping filaments have a melting point of less than about 150° C., and the infusion filaments have a melting point of at least about 180° C., and shaping the fabric stack;
• and
• heating the fabric stack at a temperature up to about 160° C.
