2. Project Description Develop a machine that produces composite tubing Market: RIT ME Department Future Market(s): SAE Racing teams, Aero Teams Key high level customer needs / engineering specs: o Robust o Quality Control o Ease of use  Simple but effective machine that produces limited products  Minimize raw materials (resin, fiber)  Maintain fiber tension throughout process  Fiber volume fraction > 50%  Operation procedure simple  Easily disassembled for cleanup

3. System Architecture

4. Design Summary

6. System Testing Impregnation Quality Test Maximum and Minimum Fiber Orientation Angles 85°60°55° Up to N m = 60 RPMN m = 10 RPMSlip

7.  “Dogbone” serves as filament bandwidth  Insufficient bandwidth leads to gaps in part  Further testing required to determine relationship between dimensions and bandwidth System Testing Profile Testing Θ =75° N m =40 RPM 85°60°55°

8. Future Work  Tensioning System  Electronic Control  Multi-fiber  Advanced Controls  Different Cross-Sections  Active Feedback  Multiple/Complex Fiber Orientations  Heated Resin Bath  Temperature Control

9. Project Evaluation  Success:  Under Budget: $1,002.33 (of $2,000.00)  Accurate/Precise Winding Profiles  Future Plans (Tension System, Documentation)  Setbacks:  Wet wind test run  Unable to test part (not produced yet)
