Almost all our advanced composite products at the prototyping stage are software simulated to predict their manufacturability using the composite manufacturing process we have chosen. Infact we use Composite Manufacturing Simulation to predict the manufacturability of all critical products we manufacture.
This enables us to choose, design and tweak the composite manufacturing setup optimally - to get the prototype "First Time Right" - from the manufacturing perspective. This also enables us to "understand" the "art" of manufacturing High Performance Composites. Conversion of this "Understanding" into practical improvements in the composite manufacturing and design process is what helps us to constantly be on the cutting edge of Advanced Composite Manufacturing Technology.
We simulate the composite manufacturing process to ensure the following,
a. Uniform and Complete Impregnation of the Composite Laminate
b. Absence of Voids and Dry Patches - Void Free Composite Laminate
c. Optimization of the Impregnation Time (in line with the Resin Gel Times)
d. Predictable Distortion and Spring back post curing
e. Minimize the Draping based Orientation Deviations during Layup
