The pultrusion process is well recognized as a cost-effective method for the production of composite structures. Exacting requirements for straightness for space structures and recreational applications (such as archery arrows) have lead to an examination of processing factors which adversely affect the successful fabrication of these components. Experiments have been conducted to examine the unwarranted causes of curvature and to develop methods for fabrication of straight components. Effect of pull alignment and thermal variations will be discussed with regards to their relative importance to the final part straightness.
