The article will highlight the challenges in designing composites suitable for automated manufacturing with Design for manufacturing (DFM) considerations.

What are the Challenges of Switching to Composites Materials?

Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) is an additive manufacturing process that has three different inputs: fiber/polymer tape, heat, and pressure. This technology aims to replace manual workers in composites manufacturing with better productivity and less material waste.

The creation of structural properties during the manufacturing process is the hallmark of the composites process which brings in manufacturing defects that could not be foreseen during the design phase of the structure. It forces the production engineer to ask the question of discard or repair?

How to Identify the Defects and Damages in Composite Materials and Structures?

In this article, the focus is on understanding the key steps in designing structural composites with examples of aerospace components; i.e. wing and fuselage.
