BraidX – Novel manu­facturing method for CFRP parts

BraidX is a hybrid preform production technology, which is combining the advantages of winding and braiding to produce customized preforms with exceptionally high material output rate and precision.
The BraidX key features are summarized as follows:

3D Preform production with direct processing of fibers from coils

Highly productive fiber layup

Seamless fibre layout on circumference – no joints/ patches/ overlaps needed

Multi axial fiber orientations and ratios for weight optimised design

Strong fiber network for robust preform design

Mandrel diameterup to 1m
Mandrel lengthStandard: up to 0,9m
Extended: extension up to 3m
Warp coils50 .. >400
Patternsplain weave, twill, atlas satin, …
Warp controlFull custom parameters
Weft controlFull custom parameters

BraidX technology – a scalable system tailored to specific customer needs

Works with all types and grades of reinforcement fibers

Production part sizes up to 1m diameter

Customized production part length

Variable mandrel shapes and dimensions (conical, curved, flanges, …)
