VERICUT Composite Applications

Detailed Specification

VERICUT Composte Programming

VCP reads CAD models of the layup tool and ply boundary information that defines the laminate or ply stack and creates motion paths that add material and fill each ply boundary according to the user’s engineering requirements and manufacturing standards.

VERICUT Composite Simulation

VCS is a simulated work environment for automated composites manufacturing. Through CAD models and NC programs, VCS simulates the sequence of NC programs on a virtual machine, including head changes, probing, knife cutting, and more. Material is applied to the layup form via NC program instructions in a virtual CNC simulation environment.

    VERICUT Composite Applications

    Detailed Specification

    Recent advancements in automated composite fabrication machines are generating much excitement – and with good reason.  Driven mostly by aerospace, but with technology quickly transferring to other industries, productive automated composite lay-up machinery is becoming a reality. One of our goals is to help demystify the process of programming automated composite machinery by introducing the key components of machine independent off-line programming software.

     

    Machine-independent off-line programming and simulation software for automated fiber-placement and tape-laying machines consists of three components that can be used individually or together: VERICUT Composite paths for Engineering (VCPe), VERICUT Composite Programming (VCP) and VERICUT Composite Simulation (VCS).
