<p>A method for dispensing reinforcement fibers to make a preform or laminate includes winding a continuous length of a reinforcement fiber (16) into coils (28) around a form (52) having a longitudinal axis, moving the coils axially with respect to the form to engage a cutter (60), cutting the coils to form discrete length reinforcement fibers (64), applying a resinous material to the discrete fibers, and dispensing the discrete length reinforcement fibers (78).</p> |
