Pattern Development


Advanced Composites Design

To improve the quality, the manufacturability and the assembly of composite plies, I offer 3D > 2D flat pattern development:

  • Import DXF / IGES 3D Ply Boundary data
  • Fibre Orientation Tools
  • Deformation Limits to control the amount of Ply strain
  • DXF / IGES / Laser Projection output
  • Lay-Up of laminate plies in 3D space by material thickness, and associated 2D pattern adjustment
  • Resolution of overlaps, cores, cut-outs, sharp corners and double curvature forms.
