Carbon Fiber Composite Filament Winding

I need a pressure vessel, motor case or other body of revolution wound. Who winds it, at what diameter and length, and over what liner?

What it is

Winding resin-wetted tow onto a rotating mandrel at controlled angles. The standard route for pressure vessels, motor cases and any body of revolution.

Companies that perform this process on customer material.

  • Rogersville, AL · Converter

    Filament winding in carbon and graphite prepreg. NOTE the application: this is rocket motor and propulsion composite work rather than airframe structure. Confirm the shop is set up for your part type.

    AS9100NADCAP Composites

    Highly specialised filament winding, the capability the company grew out of. Used for rocket motor cases and missile structures -- the case is simultaneously the pressure vessel and the airframe.

  • San Diego, CA · Converter
    AS9100NADCAP Composites

    Filament winding of carbon fibre, alongside roll wrapping and bladder moulding. Roll wrapping and winding are tube-and-shell processes. The right call for masts, booms and pressure structures rather than flat panel.
