内容简介

Ithe July issue of HPC we explored current machinery offerings from suppliers of automated tape laying (ATL) and automated fiber placement (AFP) equipment (see "Learn More," p. 47). In the last decade, software and hardware advances associated with these critical composites manufacturing processes have enabled the production of large, carbon fiber-reinforced structures that previously were simply unattainable. As a result, ATL and AFP equipment has enabled the development of The Boeing Co.'s (Seattle Wash.) 787 Dreamliner and will soon make possible the manufacture of Airbus' (Toulouse, France) forthcoming A350 XWB as well as a host of other applications in aerospace and other high-performance markets, where manufacturers are eager to take advantage of the speed and accuracy these systems can provide.
