Zusammenfassung:A plurality of identical fabrication modules (42) are linked together and configurable to fabricate any of a plurality of differing laminate structures in a family of structures having common features. Each of the fabrication modules is locally adapted to fabricate a section of the laminate structure on a corresponding tool (48). A controller (52) controls and coordinates automated operation of the fabrication modules.
