Abstract

The main technological factors when using ATL and AFP technologies are material temperature, laying speed, rolling pressure and no deviation from the required laying trajectory. The article discusses the influence of technological factors on some characteristics of polymer composite materials. The optimum laying temperature should provide the required adhesion. The rate of laying should provide heating of the material without its technological properties. The rolling pressure during laying should ensure optimal porosity and thickness of the material.
