Abstract
A machine and method are presented for producing interlaced composite components. The method includes: depositing a first one or more warp filaments onto a deposition surface in a first linear direction, inserting, on top of the first one or more warp filaments, a first one or more weft filaments in a second linear direction, where the second direction is in the same plane as the first one or more warp filaments but is not parallel to the direction of the first one or more warp filaments, depositing, on top of the one or more first weft filaments, one or more second warp filaments in first linear direction, where the second one or more warp filaments are not collinear with the first one of more warp filaments, and inserting, on top of the second one or more warp filaments, a second one or more weft filaments in the second direction.
