Abstract: Braiding technique is one of the most important preform manufacturing techniques. Braiding technology has been improved to fabricate near-net-shaped fiber preforms of complex shaped composite materials with variable cross-section,impact tolerance, delamination resistance and creep deformation resistance. Braiding structure materials are widely used in the areas of engineering, aeronautics and astronautics, automotive, etc. In this article, braiding machines, their working principle, braided structures and representative models are illustrated and introducd. The applications of braiding structure materials and the current research direction of braiding machines are also discussed.

Key words: braiding technique, braiding machine, braiding structure, braided fabric model, application, development
