Abstract A novel processing scheme for cyclic production of composite folded structures from continuous sheet of prepreg is presented. A circular transformable mandrel is used as a shaping unit. A technique of calculating the shaping unit parameters is developed. It is based on the analysis of facility kinematics using a vector model of four-axis folded structures transformation process.
