Patent ID: 8574388

Claim:
A method for the automated manufacture of an elongated composite material part with at least one layer using a mold having a shape complementary to that of the elongated composite material part, the method comprising: a) depositing, by unwinding onto the mold, in a first direction, along the mold, a first assembly comprising a first composite material layer separably attached to a first substrate tape; b) forming and compacting a first part of the first assembly onto the mold in the first direction, partially shaping the first assembly to the shape of the mold; c) forming and compacting a second part of the first assembly in a second direction, opposite the first direction, shaping the first assembly completely to the shape of the mold; and d) separating, by peeling, the first substrate tape from the first composite material layer, which is secured to the mold, by rewinding the first substrate tape in the second direction.
