Abstract

Methods for and preforms for making fiber reinforced composites are disclosed. According to the invention, preforms which allow composites to be machined are provided. Also, preforms with a uniform debulking ratio are provided with non-uniform fiber placement. In addition, methods of forming composites have less material waste and allow more than one composite to be consolidated at one time.
