Filament winding

Filament winding technology

Filament winding is a key manufacturing process in the composites industry, where fibers such as carbon or glass are automatically wound onto a rotating mandrel to create cylindrical or square products like pressure vessels, pipes and beams. The result is a stronger, lighter than steel or aluminium and corrosion-resistant composite material.

This technique is very important for sectors such as aerospace, infrastructure and automotive. The filament winding machine market is experiencing robust yearly growth worldwide of 9% , with a lot of producing countries like North and South America and Europe.

A bright future

Efficient, lightweight materials are needed for product performance. Additionally, renewable energy developments, like wind and solar, are propelling the market forward. Technological advancements and a focus on sustainability with eco-friendly designs due to its lightweight and durable properties, suggest a bright future for filament winding.

Using towpreg fibers ensures optimal impregnation and pre-curing throughout the entire process, resulting in the production of advanced composite products. This efficient method is not only clean but also allows for winding speeds up to three times faster than traditional wet winding techniques.
