Abstract

While Automated Fibre Placement machines are commercially available and being utilised in some industrial settings for the automated manufacture of preforms, full definition of the material-dependent process parameters and their effect on the preform quality/features are not yet thoroughly understood. Through characterisation of novel, commercial tapes (thermoplastic prepreg and dry-fibres bindered tapes) and analysis of basic deposition trials, the authors define and compare the processing variables required to lay-up the different materials.
