“…Driven by several pulleys, continuous prepreg sheets, rovings, and monofilament are made to pass through a resin bath and collected over a rotating mandrel, as displayed in Figure 12. Then, after applying sufficient layers, mandrel, which has the desired shape of the product, is set for curing at the room temperature [164,165]. Recently developed robotic filament winding (RFW) technique is provided with an industrial robot equipped with a feed and deposition system.…”

Composites have been found to be the most promising and discerning material available in this century. Presently, composites reinforced with fibers of synthetic or natural materials are gaining more importance as demands for lightweight materials with high strength for specific applications are growing in the market. Fiber-reinforced polymer composite offers not only high strength to weight ratio, but also reveals exceptional properties such as high durability; stiffness; damping property; flexural strength; and resistance to corrosion, wear, impact, and fire. These wide ranges of diverse features have led composite materials to find applications in mechanical, construction, aerospace, automobile, biomedical, marine, and many other manufacturing industries. Performance of composite materials predominantly depends on their constituent elements and manufacturing techniques, therefore, functional properties of various fibers available worldwide, their classifications, and the manufacturing techniques used to fabricate the composite materials need to be studied in order to figure out the optimized characteristic of the material for the desired application. An overview of a diverse range of fibers, their properties, functionality, classification, and various fiber composite manufacturing techniques is presented to discover the optimized fiber-reinforced composite material for significant applications. Their exceptional performance in the numerous fields of applications have made fiber-reinforced composite materials a promising alternative over solitary metals or alloys.

Coreless filament winding technologies possess the potential to flexibly produce lightweight rigid frame structures at comparably low costs. The key to versatility, geometrical freedom and cost-effectiveness is the avoidance of core elements. Existing research on the filament winding of rigid frames focusses primarily on “isotruss” or “lattice” structures, manufactured by depositing fibers on polygon-shaped mandrels with carved-out gaps. Therefore, an investigation into the performance of coreless wound laminates and their material characteristics under process conditions is performed. Therefore, generic 2D specimens were manufactured on a new fully automated 3D winding equipment and successively exposed to incineration, micro-CT analysis and tensile testing. The benefits of core elements are evaluated by additional reference samples and opposed to coreless winding methods. The research demonstrates the potential of coreless filament winding and inductively quantifies the positive influence of fiber pretension and core/die elements on the material properties at cost of decreased versatility, costs and design degrees of freedom.

“…The maximum available number of the axis on filament winder is seven, which can have the highest motion axes [22]. Filament winding machine with 2 axes is a classical prototype filament winding machine, which can have mandrel rotation and carriage movements [23][24][25]. Filament winding with four axes movement is designed with related four axes filament winding machine structure [26].…”

Filament winding technology is one of the fundamental fabrication methods in composite material fields, which has a high degree of automation. It is the process in which continuous strands or filament of fibres is wound on the mandrel, which is suitable for high-pressure vessels, pipes, shaft and ducts. The present filament winding machines have existed in enterprises or factories, which are high costs, heavy, complex control system and machine structure. The objective of this study is to design a 3-axis filament winding machine, which has portable, lightweight, low costs, high efficient and inexpensive control system features compared to the previous and present machine. The control system relates hardware section and software section, which can meet three axes movement principle. The 3-axis prototype filament winding machine has also been developed. Arduino Uno and CNC v1 shield module are applied as hardware section. Universal G-Code Sender (UGS) and Grbl codes are adopted as software section. In conclusion, a 3-axis portable, lightweight and low-cost filament winding machine have been successfully developed, which can fabricate filament wound carbon/epoxy tubes with a proper inexpensive control system.
