A Roadmap to Automated Composites

This paper seeks to make the benefits and considerations of the transitional process from hand layup to automated composites manufacturing apparent and therefore easier to navigate.

Challenges and Benefits of Implementing a Digital Twin in Composites Manufacturing

This document will highlight several practical challenges in implementing the digital twin as well as discuss multiple real-world benefits of this tool.

Programming and Simulating Automated Fiber Placement CNC Machines

This paper discusses the implementation and use of machine independent off-line NC programming software as it applies to CNC fiber placement machines.

The Lowdown on Layups

Why automated composite manufacturing is the clear path towards better quality and greater throughput.
