Programming & Simulation Software for Automated Fiber-Placement (AFP) and Tape-Laying Machines (ATL)
Version 7.2.2 is now shipping. Click here to request it.
Recent advancements in automated composite fabrication machines are generating much excitement – and with good reason. Driven mostly by aerospace, but with technology quickly transferring to other industries, productive automated composite lay-up machinery is becoming a reality. One of our goals is to help demystify the process of programming automated composite machinery by introducing the key components of machine independent off-line programming software. After all, how hard could it be?
