Braided fabrics (carbon fiber fabrics, aramid fabrics, polyethylene fabrics, basalt fabrics, building reinforcement fabrics, etc.) are mainly woven by automatic rapier machines. Weaving, sampling, etc., is a basic textile technology. Regular patterns include plain, twill, satin, and unidirectional.

Warp knitted fabrics (multiaxial fabrics) use the warp knitting technology combined with the fiber laying concept, the material is not bent so that the fibers can be arranged in an optimal form. Warp knitting technology can obtain thick multi-layer fabrics and determine the fiber direction as desired, which greatly improves economic efficiency because more layers do not need to be laid
