Abstract
A composite material casing of varying thickness, in particular for a gas turbine fan, is made by forming fiber reinforcement and densifying the reinforcement with a matrix. The fiber reinforcement is made by winding superposed layers of a fiber texture onto a mandrel, the texture being made by three-dimensional weaving with varying thickness.
