Abstract
A method of manufacturing a composite material, the method comprising: growing two or more layers of reinforcement in-situ; and impregnating each layer with a matrix before growing the next layer. The reinforcement layers may be formed by a chemical vapor deposition process. The method can be used as an additive layer manufacturing technique to form a component with a desired shape and physical characteristics.
