A transport of carbon fiber bundles, in as fabricated carbon fiber tow form, with in-line manipulation of the fiber bundles (spreading or spreading and volumization with manipulators) during fiber bundle transport is described herein. A method including positively transporting and placing a fiber bundle via a moveable fiber bundle delivery mechanism interposed between a fiber bundle supply and a fiber bundle delivery location, manipulating at least one of a fiber volume and an areal weight of the fiber bundle via an air jet device coupled between the fiber bundle delivery location and the fiber bundle supply, and controlling delivery of the fiber bundle tension from the fiber supply through an electronic unwinder is also described.
