Abstract: A pulforming system for forming a three-dimensional article includes a plurality of fibers, a resin injection system, resin, a preform die, a movable first pulling sled, a movable second pulling sled and a cutting station. The first and second pulling sleds form the fibers and resin into an article using a sequential, continual movement process of back-and-forth translational motion in unison to form an article that is three-dimensional in one or more of a longitudinal or transverse direction.
