Filament Winding - Roving or single strands of glass, metal, or other reinforcement are wound in a predetermined pattern onto a suitable mandrel. The pattern is so designed as to give maximum strength in the directions required. The strands can either be run from a creel through a resin bath before winding or preimpregnated materials can be used. When the right number of layers have been applied, the wound mandrel is cured at room temperature or in an oven.
