It is a continuous manufacturing process to produce products with constant cross sections such as profiles and sheets. Fig. 5.25 is a schematic illustration of general pultrusion setup. As shown in the figure, continuous fiber reinforcements are saturated (wet out) with desired resin matrix either in a resin bath or in resin injection chamber. The coated fibers then pass through heating and forming dies where curing of the resin and forming of the shape occur. After the die the composite is allowed to postcure while being pulled to the saw which cuts it into stock length. Different resin–fiber combinations are used to achieve the final desired properties |chapter=Plastics Processing |title=Introduction to Plastics Engineering |date=2018 |last1=Shrivastava |first1=Anshuman |pages=143–177 |isbn=978-0-323-39500-7 }}</ref> and [[slip forming]].<ref>{{cite patent |title=System and method for slip forming monolithic reinforced composite concrete structures having multiple functionally discrete components |gdate=2015-05-24 |url=https://patents.google.com/patent/US9435085B1/en}} {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210608191250/https://patents.google.com/patent/US9435085B1/en |date=2021-06-08}}</ref> There are also forming capabilities including [[numerical control|CNC]] filament winding, vacuum infusion, wet lay-up, [[compression moulding]], and [[thermoplastic]] moulding, to name a few. The practice of curing ovens and paint booths is also required for some projects.

====Finishing methods====
The composite parts finishing is also crucial in the final design. Many of these finishes will involve rain-erosion coatings or polyurethane coatings.
