Filament Winding

Manufacture of fiber-reinforced composite components

Product information

Filament winding is a highly automated process for manufacturing fibre-reinforced composite components with exceptional strength and low weight. Continuous endless fibres made of glass, carbon or aramid are wound onto a rotating mandrel under tension and impregnated with resin. Individually programmable winding patterns create a precise fibre alignment that enables optimum component properties. The mandrel moulding process enables the production of seamless, complex hollow bodies such as tanks or pipes - without any weak points.

  • Tailored performance – fiber orientation can be precisely controlled for specific load paths
  • High fiber volume content – up to 80% for maximum stiffness and strength
  • Seamless structures – no joints or weak points
  • Excellent dimensional stability – minimal shrinkage and thermal expansion
  • Automated and repeatable – ensures consistent quality and scalability
