Abstract

The recent move toward industry 4.0 and a global emphasis on sustainability have underlined the need for less waste and more efficiency in composite manufacturing. A potential solution to these challenges is via in-situ detection and correction of AFP defects. To demonstrate the concept, our team has developed a research-based AFP deposition system employing laser sensors to monitor the material quality and facilitate active process control., A preliminary study has shown that the system can monitor and compensate for AFP defects, which ultimately changes the microstructure of the laminate.

The aim of this work is to fine-tune the defect correction process by identifying the ideal process parameters for different types and levels of defects. This will improve the final part quality and reduce manufacturing waste, leading to more sustainable manufacturing of lightweight composite structures.
