发明名称 Composite filler
摘要 A method and apparatus for forming a composite filler is presented. The method comprises cutting a number of layers from a composite material. The method also aligns the number of layers to form a composite filler having a cross-sectional shape. Each of the number of layers has fibers in plane with the cross-sectional shape.

主权项 1. A method comprising: cutting a number of layers from a composite material with a first end of a hollow punch; cutting additional layers of the composite material such that the number of layers of composite material travels through the hollow punch from the first end to a second end of the hollow punch, wherein at least one of the number of layers is retained within the hollow punch as subsequent ones of the layers of composite material are cut with the hollow punch; aligning the number of layers to form a composite filler having a cross-sectional shape, each of the number of layers having fibers in plane with the cross-sectional shape; and removing the composite filler at the second end of the hollow punch as the additional layers of composite material cause the number of layers of composite material travels through the hollow punch.
