Fiber placement technology is closer for the new researches and new general industry applications.
“MikroPlace” V1.0 Software package for automated Lay-up creating and AFP Process simulation

Features:

• Fully NURBS based environment - based on a robust industry standard geometric kernel
• Manage sessions & part models
• Import of models from popular CAD such as CATIA, SolidWorks, Pro/Engineer, IGES and many others
• Create new work sessions or load existing ones - your current work can always be saved
• Layup
• Build custom ply definitions or use existing objects to define them
• Use different strategies to achieve desired ply layup
• Constant angle - cover a part with course and maintain a given angle over the part
• Parallel curve - define a custom curve over a surface, and generate courses in parallel to the original curve
• Laminate family ply - lay courses at an angle relative to the direction of force defined on the part
• Each strategy allows for extensive parameterization through
• Tow gap/overlap
• Location to start
• Course gap
• Define sequence of layup of each course on a ply and direction
• Manage a set of plies and define their order
• Analysis
• Give visual indication of where problematic course exist
• Based on machine limits, indicate where problems exist for layup
• Total production cost and time estimate
• Post-processing & simulation
• Define strategy between course layup, such as a safety plane
• Generate and view complete machine path
• Allow process parameters modifications at any point on path
• Generate ISO G-Code for a specific AFP machine
