Supporting strategic use of composite design.
Feasibility Assessment
- Validate intricate layups early
- Minimize prototypes
- Enable true co-design across domains
Machine & Equipment Specification
- Define layup head reach, paths, and constraints
- Quantify workspace needs
- Guide design of custom AFP/ATL equipment
New Product Development
- Integrate automated layup from day one
- Design collaboratively with embedded constraints
- Build reusable, PLM-compliant design assets
Transition from Manual to Automated deposition
- Re-assess legacy parts for automation
- Adapt designs for compatibility
- Reduce manual labor and variability
Process Optimization
- Switch to faster layup methods (e.g. AFP to ATL)
- Refine fiber paths, reduce waste
- Improve throughput with minimal change
Design Optimization Beyond Isotropy
- Go beyond default fiber patterns
- Tailor orientation to performance
- Use simulation-driven design refinements
