Composite panel and shape forming apparatus

Apparatus for continuously forming flat sheets or shapes from a composite of resin, reinforcing fibers and a particularized filler including a series of successive material deposition and treating stations through which the composite is pulled while sandwiched between upper and lower flexible and essentially continuous carrier sheets. The apparatus particularly suited for such composites where a high percentage of filler is used and is applicable to the formation of diverse flat sheet or shaped cross-sectional configurations.
