PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fiber arranging machine having a fiber transferring system excellent in manipulation, thereby capable of arranging fibers on the surface having a clear outline such as a hemisphere and a wing altogether. SOLUTION: A fiber placement machine has a creel that supplies a fiber band to a presser member applying the fiber band to a tool or a mold. The presser member is a part of a head that is attached to the creel of the machine through a wrist joint that provides movement about yaw, pitch and roll axes with respect to the creel. The fiber band is supplied by a fiber band delivery system that is associated with the wrist joint and that is characterized by a capability to twist the fiber band in two stages about the yaw axis or the roll axis.
