A composite material (100) made of multiple filament bands (110) is disclosed. The filament bands may be impregnated with a solid or semi-solid resin. The filament bands (110) are wound in multi orientations fo form a sheet of composite material (100). Additionally, the composite material (100) may be made to have a varying number of layer and fiber orientations throughout the sheet of composite material (100). In another embodiment, a composite component requiring multiple layers and fiber orientations may be substantially manufactured during a filament winding process. |
