Context:

Filament Winding is a manufacturing process to produce high-strength rotationally symmetrical components e.g. pressure cylinders, pipes or wings. This process involves winding filaments under tension over a rotating core – in technical jargon called "mandrel".

The challenge:

• Manufacture the core for Filament Winding process using AM, which would be quick and cheap to produce in any possible form.
• Evaluate the production of a light and stable bicycle handlebar.
• Selection of appropriate materials.
• Gaining optimal static/dynamic characteristics.
