Fiber Patch Placement is the additive manufacturing technology for the automated production of geometrically complex fiber composites. It enables a new degree of freedom in automated fiber placement and is compatible with many materials such as different carbon fiber prepreg systems, glass fiber prepregs, adhesive prepregs, and also dry fibers. Defined patches are automatically cut from a tape and precisely placed by two robots and a flexible patch gripper. The size is adjusted to the size and complexity of your component. Because the process is implemented as a series of individually-controlled patch placements, FPP technology enables a superior level of process control for the entire laminate lay-up cycle.
