Abstract:	Circular Braiding is a composite material preform manufacturing process that is used to manufacture bi- and triaxial braids. A procedure is presented for relating braid patterns to spool patterns. The procedure is based on the observation that physical removal of a bias spool from the machine corresponds to removal of a row or column of intersections from the braid pattern matrix. The procedure can assist in the reduction of trial-anderror in the product manufacturing process and enables new features in computational braiding simulation and optimization.
