Understanding Pull-Winding: A Unique Continuous Manufacturing Process for Composite Profiles and Tubes

November 08, 2023 |

Review the benefits of a unique continuous manufacturing process for composites profiles and tubes called pull-winding.

OEMs around the world are looking for smarter materials to forward-think their products by combining high mechanical performance with lightweight design and long-lasting durability. In this webinar, composite experts from Exel Composites explain the benefits of a unique continuous manufacturing process for composites profiles and tubes called pull-winding.

Pull-winding makes it possible to manufacture strong, lightweight and extremely thin-walled composite tubes and profiles that meet both demanding mechanical specifications and aesthetic needs. The possibilities for customizing the profile’s features are almost limitless — and because pull-winding is a continuous process, it is well suited for high volume production with consistent quality.

Join the webinar to learn why you should consider pull-wound composites for your product.

Agenda:

  • Introducing pull-winding, and how it compares to other composite manufacturing technologies like filament winding or pultrusion
  • What are the benefits of pull-winding and how can it achieve thin-walled profiles?
  • Practical examples of product challenges solved by pull-winding
