    Abstract

    Braiding is one of the narrow width textile manufacturing methods. Apart from the use of braids in garment and shoes, braiding found its use in a wider area of technical textile applications such as rope and cable. In addition, braiding is a more suitable method for developing seamless cylindrical textile reinforcement for developing composite structures. Fast manufacturing process with a range of fibre angles and reduced wastage are key reasons for braiding to be used in composite industries. This article intends to provide a broader perspective of braiding technology by covering its history, process and its applications. Details of a braiding machine, process and structures were explained to provide a general background. Customary use of braided structures was reviewed as well as further discussions on the use of braiding process for composites materials.
