Research on Progress of Automatic Dry Fiber Laying-liquid Forming

The conventional prepreg preforms require hot-pressure tank curing, while the automated dry fiber placement combined with liquid forming technology can achieve non-hot-pressure tank manufacturing of composite materials to reduce costs and shorten manufacturing cycle. Here, we provide an overview of the progress of the dry fiber placement materials and the automated dry fiber placement devices and technologies, and look forward to the prospects of their application into the ship building field.
