Apparatuses and methods for creating layered tape composite structures

Apparatuses for creating layered tape composite structures include a frame (104), a source (106) of first tape (108), and a first tape placement module (114) configured to receive first tape and place the first tape on a layup surface (80) as the frame translates along the layup surface. Some apparatuses further include a source (110) of second tape (112), and a second tape placement module (116) configured to receive second tape and place the second tape on the first tape as the frame moves along the layup surface (80). Methods for creating layered tape composite structures include supplying a first tape (108), and placing the first tape on a layup surface (80). Some methods further include supplying a second tape (112), and placing the second tape on the first tape on the layup surface. 本申请公开用于形成分层的带复合结构的装置，其包括框架、第带的源和第带放置模块，所述第带放置模块经构造在所述框架沿叠层表面平移时接收第带并在叠层表面上放置第带。些装置还包括第二带的源和第二带放置模块，所述第二带放置模块经构造在所述框架沿叠层表面平移时接收第二带并在第带上放置第二带。用于形成分层的带复合结构的方法包括供应第带；并在叠层表面上放置第带。些方法还包括供应第二带，并在所述叠层表面上的第带上放置第二带。
