Method of shaping preform and method of molding composite material
Abstract:
A method of shaping a preform includes: laminating plural dry tape members each including a binder and fiber while partly heat-sealing the dry tape members with the binder to provisionally fasten each dry tape member to an adjacent dry tape member; bending the dry tape members having been provisionally fastened, along a bending line; and heat-sealing the dry tape members having been bent with the binder to manufacture a shaped dry preform. At the laminating, at least one of the followings is satisfied: (i) an amount of heat-sealing with the binder is changed in an area along the bending line, (ii) an amount of heat-sealing with the binder is different between portions adjacent to and on opposite sides of the area along the bending line, or (iii) an amount of heat-sealing with the binder is different between portions adjacent to each other at the bending line as a border.
