Editing Pre-preg (section)

== Areas of application ==
This technique can be utilized in the aviation industry. As in principle,  prepreg has the potential to be processed batch sizes. Despite fiber glass having high applicability in aircraft specifically small aircraft motors, carbon fiber is employed in this type of industry at a higher rate, and the demand for it is increasing. For example, the characterization of Airbus A380 is handled by means of a mass fraction. This mass fraction is about 20%, and the Airbus A350XWB by a mass fraction of about 50% of carbon fiber prepregs. Carbon fiber prepregs have been used in the airfoils of the Airbus fleet for more than 20 years.

The usage of prepreg in automotive industry is used at relatively limited quantities in comparison with other techniques like automated tape lay-up and automated fiber placement. The main reason behind this is the relative high cost of prepreg fibers as well as the compounds used in molds. Example of such materials are [[bulk moulding compound]] (BMC) or [[sheet moulding compound]] (SMC).
