Filament winding provides excellent control over fiber placement, allowing for optimal mechanical properties based on specific load-bearing requirements. For example, parts can achieve tensile strengths up to 2500 MPa along the fiber direction. The process can produce parts with very high fiber content, up to 70%, making the components exceptionally strong and lightweight. The technique is highly automated, leading to consistent and high-quality production with minimal material waste.

Filament winding is used in industries requiring high-strength, lightweight structures. In aerospace, it is employed for manufacturing pressure vessels and rocket casings with burst pressures exceeding 70 MPa. In the oil and gas industry, filament-wound pipes are used, particularly in corrosive environments, as these pipes can handle pressures up to 50 bar. The process is also utilized in the wind energy sector to manufacture wind turbine blades with lengths exceeding 80 meters.
