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 appara...

Zusammenfassung: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.
