Abstract
Braiding is not being used as a manufacturing process as much as would be expected based on its well-known advantages. Fabricating consistent, high-quality braided composite materials has been challenging. The range of available processes and selecting the right one for the right component has perplexed researchers and engineers. Herein, production processes and methods, as well as alternatives, for the production of two-dimensional and three-dimensional braided composites are discussed.
