Point of the Proposed Technology
・Owing to the application of sheet winding process, fibers can be laminated at a desired angle of 0°, 90° or 45°,resulting in the substantial increase in productivity and strength.
Effect(s)
Shortening of forming time: 20%
Cost reduction: 20%
Cost reduction: 20%
Conventional Technology
(i) Manual winding process
Mass production is difficult and unevenness in quality occurred.
(ii) In the filament winding method, carbon fibers are reciprocated at 45º. Therefore, it is difficult to control the strength by the direction of fiber during lamination.

New Technology
・In the prepreg sheet winding method, fibers can be laminated at a desired angle of 0º to 90º, and it is possible to control the strength by application.
