Small-scale filament
winding machine for producing fiber composite products. Journal of Engineering
Science and Technology. 7. 156-168.

In finishing the proposed paper, the study will impact the following professionals
and individuals:
1. Students. With the development of this paper, the students will be able to
study more on the fabrication of aerospace materials applied by using the filament
winding process. They will also be able to use it in their laboratory outputs and
even their desired thesis projects.
2. Engineers and Professionals. This study will enable possibilities for
Filipino inventors to look and widen possibilities in manufacturing filament
winding machines in larger scales, better study fiber properties and better develop
materials for Aerospace structures.
3. Academe. The development of the study enables further studies and development
for National scope.

The study's significance is to widen the scope of research in applying Natural


Fibers in Aerospace Applications. Currently, Natural Fibers are studied to be
applied in various applications as it possesses ideal mechanical properties [36].
It would also pose many opportunities in the field of Material Sciences and
Engineering in Aerospace Applications since they desire the use of materials that
are lightweight, sustainable and possess great physical properties [39]. Moreover,
as the proponents also apply the Abaca Fiber in the Filament Winding Process, it
would mean that it can a basis for research and can be further improved in other
micro-UAV structural research.

Since Abaca Fibers are Naturally-occuring materials, it will also help lower
environmental carbon footprint since the use of abaca will minimize the use of
chemical or synthetic processes on the manufacturing process [43]. Its source is
also abundant in the country, and it comes from the leaf of the Abaca plant. It
makes a renewable source as the fibers can be harvested, and can still be
cultivated after. As a result, it can also support sustainable agriculutural
practices as it will reduce the use of finite resources.

In addition, developing the study also means that there are lots of opportunities
to slowly manufacture winding processes in the country, especially in Ateneo de
Davao University. With this study, it will enable the students to first handedly
create their own outputs and can further better their studies in conceptualizing
their studies especially in the exploration using materials, polymers, and
composite materials. Thus, the opportunities and impact of the research is
available to widen the possible studies that can be conducted.

This study’s goals provides an overview of the thermoplastic filament winding


process and to highlight the key elements of each individual process. The ability
to construct continuous fiber reinforced lay-ups with precise fiber positioning and
well-defined fiber orientation is made possible by thermoplastic filament winding.
Axially symmetric part geometries, like those tubes or vessels, are typical. Owing
to the unique properties of the thermoplastic material, the winding process can be
completed without a curing step because the process can proceed within situ
consolidation. Different raw material types and process configurations are employed
[27].

Filament winding process in thermoplastics

Related studies also shows techniques in applying the winding process for
thermoplastic filaments. Mack and Schledjewski [27] showed that the winding process
can be run through in situ consolidation with no curing step after conducting the
winding processes. In comparison to the traditional method of winding process, the
techniques used in thermoplastics show no need of a resin bath but has a preheating
and heating zone to enable the impregnation and consolidation of the material [51].
Another study also showed an experimental attempt on the technique for
thermoplastic filament winding process where commingled yarns were used [52].
