    摘要: A filament winding method and system without needing a resin dip bath are disclosed. The method comprises feeding a fiber band of a plurality of fibers onto a mandrel without dipping the fibers in a resin bath, and applying a resin onto the fiber band at or about where the fiber band contacts the mandrel or applied directly to the fiber band and then wound onto the mandrel so that the resin is between the mandrel and the fiber band at the point of contact. In some embodiments, the resin can be sprayed onto the fibers and in other embodiments, the resin can be delivered in at least one layer onto the fiber band that is then impregnated into the fiber band as the fiber band wraps around the mandrel. The fiber can comprise carbon fiber, basalt fiber, glass fibers, Kevlar fiber, polyester fiber, other fibers, or a combination thereof.
