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

Maximum and Minimum Fiber Orientation Angles
85° 60° 55°Up to Nm = 60 RPM
Nm = 10 RPM Slip
“Dogbone” serves as filament bandwidth
Insufficient bandwidth leads to gaps in part
Further testing required to determine relationship between dimensions and bandwidth
