Abstract: The paper discusses the progress of research on 2D braiding technology from perspectives of kinematic method and finite element method. On other hand, it summarizes the research process of yarns hypothesizing sectional ellipse, lenticular shape and flat hexagon. It also concludes the research on unit cells with 2D biaxial braided structures and triaxial braided structures. Lastly, the paper proposes suggestions on relevant issues to be considered in research concerning unit cells.

Key words: two dimensional braiding, braiding process theory, geometric models
