Filament winding is a manufacturing process used to create composite materials by winding continuous strands of fiber, such as carbon fiber or glass fiber, around a rotating mandrel. This technique allows for the precise placement of fibers, which enhances the strength and durability of the final product. The fibers are often impregnated with a resin to bond them together, forming a solid structure once cured. This method is commonly used in industries like aerospace, automotive, and marine to produce lightweight and strong components, such as tanks, pipes, and rotor blades. Filament winding can be tailored to meet specific design requirements, making it a versatile choice for various applications.
