• Variation Braiding: from 4x4 to 6x6 – new application potential through more complex 3D braiding structures

  Frank Ficker, Roxana Miksch, Karline Grosser, Recep Kocaman, Corinna Anzer

  In this article, new possibilities about the patterning on a variational braider with 6x6 horn gears are presented. Various types of braided structures, such as bifurcation braids, knotless nets or textile chain elements were developed using braiding pattern techniques and were manufactured on braiding machines with a wide range of materials (synthetic fibers, carbon fibers, glass fibers, ceramic fibers, natural fibers). Additionally, by using the new 6x6 variation braider, the existing patterns and products of the 4x4 braiding machine are being optimized and expanded.
