Résumé : |
Most users of Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) machinery use off-line Numerically Controlled (NC) programming software supplied by the machine builder. This machine builder-supplied software only works with their specific machine, forcing manufacturers to implement multiple off-line NC programming products when using multiple brands or vintages of machines. The more mature CNC metal-cutting industry started the same way, but has now evolved into a clear separation and cooperation between independent software and machine suppliers. This has freed the end-user company to select the best machine for the job, white using one universal software application to create NC programs for a variety of machine brands or vintage. When combined with composite design software tools that specifically take into account AFP manu¬facturing requirements early in the product development cycle, engineering and manufacturing specifications are seamlessly transferred to the manufacturing process. This paper discusses the implementation and use of machine-independent off-line NC programming software as it applies to CNC fiber placement machines. |
