Braiding
Braiding
Braiding is extremely an old technique . The ancient Egyptians were familiar with the principles of braiding well over 2000 years ago, (90) and the Incas of south America were making braided textiles over a thousand years ago. The braids structure is the simplest form of fabric formation ,(4) and is formed by using three or more threads so arranged that they cross the fabric diagonally from side to side and at the same time pass under and over each other(90) there are no warp and filling yarns in the scene of a woven fabric .
Braiding doesn’t require beat –up and shedding the yarns don’t have to go through heddles and reads. Circular braiding , a long- established textile process for forming tubular fabrics , has been extended to produce a range of structural shapes for composite applications
