Abstract
A method of fabricating a preform for use in a resin transfer molding process. The method includes the steps of locating a transport member on a mandrel. A dry fiber layer is filament wound about the mandrel over the transport member. A tackifier is applied to the dry fiber layer at least in the area of the transport member. The filament wound dry fiber layer is cut about the transport member to provide a preform thereon. The preform is transported to a resin transfer mold by use of the transport member. The preform then is resin transfer molded in the mold.
