Introduction to Automated Fibre Placement (AFP)
Event Information
Description
Offering greater precision, repeatable processes and quicker cycle-times, Advanced Manufacturing processes like Automated Fibre Placement are growing in popularity.
This is a highly interactive course, which uses the NCC’s very own state-of-art equipment to introduce delegates to advanced manufacturing techniques. You’ll learn more about the equipment, the processes and their application.
We recommend this course for delegates who are familiar with composites, but want to develop a better understanding of advanced manufacturing techniques
What we’ll cover:
- Advanced manufacturing technologies
- Materials used for advanced manufacture
- Applications in industry
- AFP and how it works
- Automated Deposition technologies (Accudyne, Coriolis Composites, Electro impact & Pilot line)
- The differences between AFP and Commercial machines
- Using a multi-material decision making tool
- How to approach a complex part.
- Dry fibre processes for AFP.
