Méthode «tow-to-top» : Un câble de plusieurs milliers de filaments sera converti en un voile continu sous l'effet de rouleaux alimenteurs. Ce voile de filaments sera ensuite étiré uniformément entre 2 paires de rouleaux chauffés puis coupé de façon oblique par des rouleaux pourvus de rainures spéciales; les fibres coupées seront ensuite séparées en les faisant passer à travers des rouleaux flûtés pour ensuite être étirées puis transformées en rubans par l'action diagonale d'un tablier.
