Abstract
Developments for improving the effectiveness of the composite structures strongly depend on the manufacturing methods. Additionally, the composite manufacturers have put effort into cost-effective and automated fabrication with mechanization. Controlling of the imperfections is also an important consideration for the production. This study presents several manufacturing methods for fiber-reinforced polymer composites. It also draws attention to novel techniques that use advanced technology required for the developed composite designs. Besides the conventional methods such as hand lay-up, vacuum bag, resin transfer molding, resin infusion, and autoclave, the advances in hot press molding, pultrusion process, and automated lay-up method were indicated. Moreover, the methods making difference for the hybrid composite designs such as the same qualified resin transfer molding and automated stitching processes were introduced. The advantages and limitations were indicated for the manufacturing methods and the usage purposes were addressed.
