In-line variable spreading of carbon fibre/thermoplastic pre-preg tapes for application in automatic tape placement

In-line variable spreading of carbon fibre/thermoplastic pre-preg tapes for application in automatic tape placement

This study investigates a device for in-line continuous spreading of carbon fibre/thermoplastic pre-preg tape for potential application in the Laser-Assisted Automatic Tape Placement (LATP) laminate manufacturing process. The spreading device allows variable tape width to be achieved locally during...
