Abstract: A method for manufacturing an article includes providing a plurality of flat sheets of fiber-reinforced polymer material. The method also includes forming the plurality of flat sheets of the fiber-reinforced polymer material into a plurality of curved sheets of the fiber-reinforced polymer material. Further, the method includes assembling the plurality of curved sheets of the fiber-reinforced polymer material in a tooling device to form an outer shape of the article. Moreover, the method includes securing each of the plurality of curved sheets of the fiber-reinforced polymer material together to form the article.
