How can we improve the quality <strong>of</strong> pre<strong>for</strong>ms with an holistic quality approach?<br />
1. Parts free <strong>of</strong> wrinkles and reduction <strong>of</strong> fiber distortions (“waviness”)<br />
2. Influencing <strong>of</strong> fiber orientation and shear angles
