The disclosure refers to a method for manufacturing rod-shaped components of composite material, for example rowings or fillers, wherein a laminate is layered by automatically laying up a plurality of plies of composite material, which is then cut in an automated machine to obtain a plurality of rods having substantially the same cross-sectional shape. The obtained rods are then simultaneously conformed by applying heat and pressure to obtain rods with the desired cross-sectional shape. With the method of the disclosure, a large number of these types of components are produced with improved quality and in a very simple manner, using the machinery and equipment already commonly existing in a factory of aeronautic components.
