    • A method of preparing fibre preforms (18) is described. The method disperses fibres and binder (14) on a forming support surface such that the materials are conditioned and then applied to the surface where the composite material solidifies. Reinforcing material, such as fibreglass, is mixed with the binder, such as thermoplastic or thermoset materials, so that the materials adhere. Then, the adhesive mixture is dispersed in a controlled pre-determined weight ratio on the support surface where the mixture sticks to the support surface, cools and solidifies. The deposited mixture can also be shaped further into a final desired shape before complete solidification. This process does not require a vacuum or plenum system to hold the reinforcing material in place. The preform can be made in any shape, including sections or asymmetric configurations. As seen in the figure, a preform making assembly (10) used to practice the method described includes a materials applicator (12) that applies the preform material mixture (14) to a support surface (16) to create the preform (18). Such a preform (18) can be used within a mould or as a part of the mould support structure. For example, preform (18) could be placed within a closed mould or on an open mould (a tray or base, for example) to form the composite part. Alternatively, preform (18) could be used as a base structure having materials attached or moulded to it, thus acting as a skeleton or tray and eliminating the need for a mould base or moulding tool. Preform (18) can be any desired shape.
