Abstract
The rapidly expanding usage of composite components in automotive and other mass production industries has focused attention on continuous production techniques as they apply to these engineering materials. It is recognized that where product volume warrants, a continuous processing system from raw material to finished product approaches optimum manufacturing efficiency. In composites, where properties are dependent almost solely on fiber orientation, continuous processing has the additional advantage of providing dependable control of filament orientation and tensioning. The combination of these and other more subtle processing advantages results in product economies not achievable by other processing techniques.
