A device for fabricating a composite article having a plurality of material dispensers to increase productivity. The device includes a structure defining a work surface datum, the plurality of material dispensers which are movable relative to the structure, where each of the material dispensers applies a strip material to the work surface datum along a predetermined axis, and wherein each of said predetermined axes are parallel to one another and where the strip material as applied to the work surface datum forms a layer. A method for fabricating a composite using rotatable dispensers or using a rotatable work table. Some of the dispensers apply the material in one direction whereas the other dispensers apply the material along a parallel axis in the opposite direction. When several structures are used one is in an active region of the work area and an other one is in an inactive region. <IMAGE> |
