Composites Manufacturer – CMF

The core manufacturing solution, CATIA Composites Manufacturer Preparation, integrated in the 3Dexperience® platform, enables composites designers to embed all composites manufacturing contraints in the design process in order to design complex production-ready composites and mass-produce composites parts.

All shop floor processes can be virtually simulated and optimized upfront to reduce costly scrapping of parts, whether for Lay-up simulation, Laser Projection, NC, Tape Laying or Resin Injection.

Ready-to-use outputs helps composites manufacturers to industrialize composites parts with powerful process-oriented tools.

 

Description

A powerful set of process oriented applications to industrialize complex composites parts before production.

    • Manufacturing skin swapping, material excess and 3D multi-splice functionalities, …
  • Best in class producibility analysis and flat pattern generation
    • Real-Time fiber deposit deviation analysis (Dynamic Draping)
    • Seed Point and Seed Curves control
    • Automate flat pattern generation
  • Output to major shopfloor systems
    • Export to nesting, and cutting or laser projection
  • High level of knowledge and automation
