Better with Braid

Braid is quickly becoming the reinforcement of choice in the engineering world. Because all the fibers within a braided structure are continuous and mechanically locked, braid has a natural mechanism that evenly distributes load throughout the structure. This means that braid is the stronger, tougher, more flexible alternative to woven composites.

A&P Technology is the world leader in braiding technology and we continue to push the boundaries of possibility every day. If you’re looking for an efficient and economical way to optimize your design, braid could be the key to maximizing your product performance.

Why Braid:

A&P’s team works closely with its customers at the design level to create braided solutions that optimize use of material and manufacture methods, providing cost savings and minimizing waste. By providing net shape and oriented materials, A&P supports its customers’ desire for sustainable, innovative products that enable efficient methods of manufacture.

Whether it’s a conformable sleeving, off the roll 45° fabric, a unique quasi-isotropic fabric or a net shape preform, A&P’s braided solutions are designed to support the need for efficient, high volume manufacture.

By creating braided architectures that follow the load path and provide impact resistance and high fatigue strength, A&P’s products enable superior performance requiring less material usage. See case studies

A&P prides itself on its ability to listen to the customers’ needs, propose a braided solution, iterate if needed and then produce custom reinforcements in a short period of time. Customization is second nature to us. Let us help optimize your composite application.
