Abstract
A shaped material, for example, a disc for disc brakes, and a method for the manufacturing thereof. The shaped material has a plurality of layers of carbon fibers stacked along an overlap axis, each layer being formed by a plurality of radial segments and transverse segments. Each radial segment is adjacent and joined, on both sides, to a transverse segment and each transverse segment is adjacent and joined, on both sides, to a radial segment, forming in each layer an alternation of radial segments and transverse segments.

1-17. (canceled)
A shaped material having circular or annular shape and comprising a plurality of layers of carbon fibers stacked along an overlap axis,
- wherein each layer comprises a plurality of radial segments and transverse segments placed side by side and joined together to form said layer,
- wherein the radial segments are segments in which the carbon fibers are mainly oriented in a radial direction relative to the overlap axis, and the transverse segments are segments in which the carbon fibers are mainly oriented in a direction incident to said radial direction,
- wherein said shaped material is characterized in that each radial segment is adjacent and joined, on both sides, to a transverse segment and each transverse segment is adjacent and joined, on both sides, to a radial segment, thus forming in each layer an alternation of radial segments and transverse segments.
