Method of manufacturing a composite material

A method of manufacturing a structural member includes preheating a plurality of fibers (130) to a first temperature, moving the preheated fibers along an assembly line (100), applying a binder to at least one of the preheated fibers, providing a die (180) shaped to receive the preheated fibers, whe...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method of manufacturing a structural member includes preheating a plurality of fibers (130) to a first temperature, moving the preheated fibers along an assembly line (100), applying a binder to at least one of the preheated fibers, providing a die (180) shaped to receive the preheated fibers, wherein the die (180) moves together with the preheated fibers along at least a portion of the assembly line (100), maintaining a temperature of the plurality of fibers at a temperature substantially similar to the first temperature, and compressing the plurality of fibers within the die while maintaining a temperature.
