Abstract
Textile preforms for use in the production of advanced fibre-reinforced composites are examined and the processes which can be used to make them are noted, including their advantages and disadvantages. It is pointed out that three-dimensional braiding has the advantages of high formability, superior mechanical behaviour accuracy, and low production costs. One of these developments includes hollow braiding, based on cicular braiding, and the use of hollow mandrels. A description is given of a computer-controlled fabric take-up system which permits the production of complex-shaped, three-dimensional hollow braids.
