An interwoven fabric having moveable layers of graphite, fiberglass, Kevlar, and similar materials are wrapped or conformed around shaped mold parts. These layered shape parts are subsequently impregnated with resin and cured to produce a reinforced product having a reasonably uniform fiber density.

An interwoven fabric having moveable layers of graphite, fiberglass, Kevlar, and similar materials are wrapped or conformed around shaped mold parts. These layered shape parts are subsequently impregnated with resin and cured to produce a reinforced product having a reasonably uniform fiber density. Typical shaped structures include boxes, hemispheres, ojives, etc. The process is particularly suitable for producing structures where the fabric distortion is severe at corners, angles, and so forth.

A woven, continuous, multi-layered, molded fabric shape impregnated with a thermosetting resin, the fabric having upper and bottom layers interwoven with an inner layer, thereby comprising three moveable layers with respect to each other, the interweave between an inner layer and the upper and bottom layers being about 5% of the total weave in a layer; the fabric being applied to a mold while moving the fabric layers with espect to each other to conform the fabric uniformly with respect to the mold and any irregularities thereon, and continuing application of the fabric to the mold until the fabric has been built up to a final shape.
