The advanced ply placement process – an innovative direct 3D placement technology for plies and tapes

Breaking down the cost structure of state-of-the-art CFRP part shows that a major share of the costs is caused by labor and equipment as well as process energy consumption. Therefore, the main goal of the EU funded FP7 project LOWFLIP (Low Cost Flexible Integrated Composite Process) has been the red...
