In 2005, the last convention was held dedicated to filament winding. After 13 years, this event aims to bring together all stakeholders of the filament winding industry.
The world has changed: as mobile phones have become intelligent smartphones, industrial equipment has become more productive, using light-weight design and powerful drives. The need for energy efficient structures in various structural applications can be fulfilled using composite materials. Filament winding has reinforced its position in this new world. It is no longer a process for niche markets such as aerospace or defense. New markets have emerged with applications in e.g. sporting goods and automotive which required the technology to be reinvented.
