A composite material that can be machined to provide a composite part for structural applications that has at least one machined surface. The composite material includes a fibrous structure containing fibers and a resin matrix. The fibrous structure has at least one surface. A machinable layer of discontinuous fiber composite material is located on the surface(s) of the fibrous structure. A portion of the machinable layer(s) is removed to provide a composite part having the desired final machined dimension without penetrating into the fibrous structure. |
