1. Filament Winding Machine Project Name – Filament Winding Machine Project Number – P09226 Project Family – Competitive FSAE Autosports Systems Senior Design Team – Shijo George (ME) – Project Manager – Alex Sandy (ME) – Chief Engineer – Christofer Brayton (EE) – Tiago Santos (ME) – Daniel Weimann (ME) Faculty Guide – Dr. Alan Nye (Mechanical Engineering) Faculty Consultant – TBA (Dr. Ghoneim, Dr. Kempski) Primary Customers – RIT Mechanical Engineering Dept Secondary Customers – Formula SAE, Mini Baja SAE

2. Filament Winding The process by which a continuous strand of impregnated fibers is wound onto a mandrel with specific fibers’ orientation which is controlled by computer. After the resin has cured, the mandrel is withdrawn Components produced include pipe work, pressure vessels, storage tanks, and helicopter blades
