Abstract
Continuous manufacturing systems and methods for fiber components are described. The continuous manufacturing systems may include core preparation, fiber weaving, pressure application, fiber curing, cooling, and post-processing subsystems. For example, fiber components having varying shapes, weaving parameters, and/or structural properties may be continuously formed. In addition, various additional fibers having additional functions or characteristics may be continuously woven together in the fiber components. Further, the pressure application, curing, and/or cooling subsystems may utilize various outer dies that are cycled through and between the subsystems.
