Developing a technology for the automated manufacturing of composite products with a variable cross-section

The paper suggests an advanced method of computer-aided manufacturing of laminated variable cross-section products which allows to significantly expand possibilities for application of modern polymer composites. Results of the study can be used for manufacturing important aeronautical products. Interdependencies between main technological modes were studied. The paper shows that in order to deliver high quality products it is necessary to furnish optimal combination of airflow temperature, pressure, and speed of the nozzle relative movement.
