Composite objects comprising fibers bound by a synthetic resin are formed by applying thermoplastic resin 4 first to individual fibers 2. These fibers are assembled in a bundle 6 and fused by heating the resin. Then the bundle is wound in a mould 9. The composite material is left cooling progressively in the mould and thereafter the moulded object is removed. In a modified apparatus, Fig. 2 (not shown), the resin-coated fibers are stored on spools for subsequent re-heating prior to assembly into a bundle for winding in a mould. The metal object may be subjected to compression to improve its surface finish or to modify its shape. <IMAGE> |
