项目摘要

Automated processing techniques such as Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) or Automated Tape Laying (ATL) are well known nowadays. There is still much potential in these procedures to achieve better results. In the proposed research, the problem with the Automated Fiber Placement is addressed and then presented the solution to the problem. The gaps between the prepreg are often created when the fiber composite materials are laid down. These are particularly apparent on complex and double-curved surfaces. A study by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) has shown that a gap of 0.76 mm can reduce the compressive strength of the laminate up to 27%. In order to cover the unavoidable weak point of this production method, additional fiber composite layers are laid in order to increase the mechanical properties of components. This means the components will be heavier and more expensive to produce. In the proposed research, a 3D printer with an endless fiber-reinforced thermoplastic is integrated into a mobile thermoplastic AFP head. After placement the Prepreg on the mold, the gaps are detected by a sensor profile. The gaps are filled in with the aid of a 3D printer with continuous-fiber reinforced plastics. In combination of the two methods, the components can be produced more homogeneously. Subsequently the components are produced faster, cheaper and even lighter because of the avoidance of the additional layer.

诸如自动纤维铺放（AFP）或自动铺带（ATL）之类的自动化处理技术如今已众所周知。这些程序仍有很大潜力取得更好的结果。在拟议的研究中，解决了自动纤维放置的问题，然后提出了该问题的解决方案。预浸料之间的间隙通常是在铺设纤维复合材料时产生的。这些在复杂的双曲面上尤其明显。美国航空航天研究所（AIAA）的一项研究表明，0.76毫米的间隙可使层压板的抗压强度降低高达27%。为了弥补这种生产方法不可避免的弱点，需要铺设额外的纤维复合材料层，以提高部件的机械性能。这意味着组件将更重且生产成本更高。在拟议的研究中，将具有无限纤维增强热塑性塑料的 3D 打印机集成到移动热塑性 AFP 头中。将预浸料放置在模具上后，传感器轮廓会检测间隙。这些间隙是在 3D 打印机的帮助下用连续纤维增强塑料填充的。结合这两种方法，可以更均匀地生产组件。随后，由于避免了附加层，部件的生产速度更快、更便宜、甚至更轻。
