N2 - Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) is a well-known advanced manufacturing method for production of high-performance composite structures using precise layup of unidirectional slit-tapes to ensure mechanical and weight efficiency. This approach will provide a new design tool to composite engineers, enabling to deviate from the classical way of constant angle orientations for composite design towards an optimization of fiber deposition design harmonized with best manufacturing opportunities. Therefore, Iterations between design, analysis and manufacturing can be dramatically reduced with improved part quality, respecting manufacturing oriented fiber courses at part dimensioning process.
