Abstract:
An integrated system for building a fiber composite part which includes an automatic fiber placement machine and a laser projector for verification of proper fiber placement. The CNC machine is controlled by a build file, with the laser projector being controlled by a part projection file. A sequencer, responsive to both the build and projection files, automatically controls the sequence of operation of the building of the part and the projection of the boundary information. A display shows the fiber placement information and allows the user to select a particular region of the fiber placement for verification of proper placement.
