1. A welding system (1) comprising:
a lay-up surface (2),
resin fabrics (K) laid side by side and/or on top of each other on the lay-up surface (2),
at least one welding apparatus (3) enabling the resin fabrics (K) to be joined to each other by heat after they are brought into contact with each other,
at least one compression plate (4) detachably attached onto the lay-up surface (2), applying pressure to the resin fabrics (K), thereby preventing sliding and/or wrinkling of the resin fabrics (K),
at least one opening (5) located on the compression plate (4), suitable for placing a welding apparatus (3) therein and surrounding the welding apparatus (3) placed therein; and
more than one opening (5) on the compression plate (4) extending in different directions, enabling to join the resin fabrics (K) with different lay-up angles by the welding apparatus (3).
