Abstract

Automated laying made by ATL and AFP methods is used worldwide to increase productivity and accuracy of prepregs laying in the course of manufacture of large-sized PCM-based parts. However, conventional prepregs are not always suitable for processing by these methods – they have to meet special requirements in terms of delivery form, quality and processability. Some features of prepregs intended for automated laying, requirements to them and an influence of laying parameters on their technological properties are discussed in the article.
