The method is for use in the field of composite materials for brakes, clutches and structural component manufacturing processes. The method has aerospace, space, automotive, motorsports and/or industrial applications.Remove the deviation and variation in the ability to rapidly characterise (porosity, fibre density, fibre volume fractian), and manufacture composite preforms (single warp and / or multi-layer warp preforms).Today manufacturers provide products with variation in performance from preform to preform / in one batch, and batch to batch, from process line to line, and facility to facility, country to country. These variations manifest themselves inta the manufacturing process resulting in a variation and wider bandwidth of functional performance of the components. In addition these variations prolong process times leading to extended cost of manufacture, lower quality and component availability, resulting in higher costs at purchase and the whole through life cost of ownership to the end customer.
