Lay-up composite manufacturing is the well known, conventional process of layering composite fibers and binder/adhesive onto the surface of a mould. The traditional fiberglassing process is a well known application for lay-up composite fabrication.

Lay-up composite manufacture can also be an automated process for higher volume manufacture of composite products. Some applications for lay-up composite manufacturing include:

• Composite aircraft wings, aircraft fuselage
• Composite boat hulls and masts.
• Automotive fairings
• Composite automotive panels.
• Fiberglass panels

Layup composite or fibreglass manufacturing usually requires the manufacture of a mould first. This can be accomplished by a variety of methods and capability. Click on the following headings to locate each type of mould maker:

• Patternmakers commonly make patterns and moulds for layup moulding.
• Toolmakers who make rotational moulding tools use similar processes to layup mould makers.
• Rapid prototypers use advanced techniques to produce silicon, urethane or plastic tools,
• Most conventional toolmakers are capable of making a fibreglass mould.
• Aerospace toolmakers often make large moulds for composite aircraft panels.
