In recent decades, the aerospace, automotive, biomedical, civil, sports equipment fields, for example, have been using composite materials. Composite materials production and use constitute a multi-billion dollar industry. Composite materials have revolutionized a number of industries due to their lightweight, high mechanical performance, and environmental resistance. Such characteristics have led to important energy and material savings. Braids are one of the oldest textiles. Recently, high end industries, have explored, or are using, braided composite materials as one possible option in product and component development. Braided composites are very versatile materials, highly adaptable to a number of applications. The uptake of braided composites has been relatively slow compared to other composite material manufacturing processes. A manufacturing technique that is as versatile as braiding comes with a large number of considerations and complexities. The reasons few industries are using braided composites is that there are a number of challenges in developing and using advanced braided composite material: quality of manufacturing, comprehensive understanding of their properties and behaviour under complex and fatigue loading, and as a result, predicting their properties. For those interested in considering braided composites, the overall costs of the systems and the research required, often makes it a low return on investment solution. However, if these challenges are successfully addressed in a state-of-the-art equipped research facility, braiding can become a staple of advanced manufacturing for a very board range of industries.

近几十年来，航空航天、汽车、生物医学、民用、运动器材等领域一直在使用复合材料。复合材料的生产和使用构成了一个价值数十亿美元的产业。复合材料因其轻质、高机械性能和耐环境性而彻底改变了许多行业。这些特性导致了重要的能源和材料节省。辫子是最古老的纺织品之一。最近，高端行业已经探索或正在使用编织复合材料作为产品和组件开发的一种可能选择。编织复合材料是用途非常广泛的材料，非常适合多种应用。与其他复合材料制造工艺相比，编织复合材料的采用相对缓慢。像编织这样通用的制造技术需要考虑大量的因素和复杂性。很少有行业使用编织复合材料的原因是，开发和使用先进编织复合材料存在许多挑战：制造质量、全面了解其在复杂和疲劳载荷下的性能和行为，以及预测其性能。对于那些有兴趣考虑编织复合材料的人来说，系统的总体成本和所需的研究通常使其成为投资回报率较低的解决方案。然而，如果在配备最先进的研究设施中成功解决这些挑战，编织可以成为许多行业先进制造的主要内容。
