Abstract

Fiber composite components can be formed by winding fibers along tracks of a winding spool of a winding core. The fibers may either be pre-coated with a curable resin, or the curable resin may be applied to the fibers after the fibers are wound along the tracks of the winding spool of the winding core. The curable resin may also and/or alternatively be applied to a mold that receives the fibers wound about the winding spool. The curable resin may then be cured, after which the winding spool and the winding core may be removed in order to release the fiber composite component. In some cases, the winding spool may be removed from the fiber composite component by moving the winding spool inwardly towards an inside of the winding core.
