Abstract
A method for manufacturing a part made of composite material. The method is performed by a system providing a mandrel around which a composite material is wound, and a reel around which a strip of the composite material comes to be wound.
Claims5
A method for manufacturing a part made of composite material comprising the following steps:
- (a) providing a composite material in strip or sheet form wound around a cylindrical mandrel so as to form at least one layer of material;
- (b) cutting directly the composite material on the mandrel in the form of a strip that is continuous and of defined width;
- (c) mounting a free end of the strip of composite material on a reel of smaller dimensions compared to the cylindrical mandrel and that has a cylindrical support surface of a width suited to the strip, the strip of composite material being then wound around the support surface of the reel;
- and
- (d) unwinding the strip of composite material from the reel and then being cut to form a part of defined dimensions.
