Method for creating furniture components from composites

摘要

Filament winding or another technique can be used to create composite parts having various layers of pigmented fibers. The composite parts can then be milled to form one or more flat surfaces on the composite part. Due to the layering of pigmented fibers, the flat surfaces can have a pattern that resembles wood grain or another pattern. These milled composite parts can then be used as components for furniture or other items.

主权项

1. A method for producing a component using filament winding, the method comprising:
filament winding pigmented fibers on a mandrel to create a composite part having various layers of pigmented fibers; and milling the composite part to form one or more planar surfaces on the composite part, each planar surface exposing a plurality of the layers of pigmented fibers, the layers being oriented to the planar surface so that no layer is parallel nor perpendicular to the planar surface such that a pattern is created on the flat surface by milling and thereby exposing portions of the layers.
