Systems and methods for constructing complex composite structures

A system, comprising:

• a conveyor;
• four stations operatively and sequentially positioned relative to the conveyor, wherein each station is configured to operatively deposit a layer of fiber reinforced composite material on the conveyor to construct a complex composite structure, wherein the four stations include:
• a first station that includes (i) a first localized roller operatively positioned above the conveyor at 45 degrees relative to a longitudinal axis of the conveyor, and (ii) a first layer depositing machine configured to deposit a first layer of fiber reinforced composite material across the first localized roller with fibers of the first layer of fiber reinforced composite material extending laterally around the first localized roller, wherein the first localized roller is configured to operatively transfer the first layer of fiber reinforced composite material from the first localized roller to the conveyor so that the fibers of the first layer of fiber reinforced composite material extend at 45 degrees relative to the longitudinal axis of the conveyor;
• a second station that includes (i) a second localized roller operatively positioned above the conveyor 45 degrees relative to the longitudinal axis of the conveyor and 90 degrees relative to the first localized roller, and (ii) a second layer depositing machine configured to deposit a second layer of fiber reinforced composite material across the second localized roller with fibers of the second layer of fiber reinforced composite material extending laterally around the second localized roller, wherein the second localized roller is configured to operatively transfer the second layer of fiber reinforced composite material from the second localized roller to the conveyor;
• a third station configured to operatively transfer a third layer of fiber reinforced composite material to the conveyor so that fibers of the third layer of fiber reinforced composite material extend at 90 degrees relative to the longitudinal axis of the conveyor;
• and
• a fourth station configured to operatively transfer a fourth layer of fiber reinforced composite material to the conveyor so that fibers of the fourth layer of fiber reinforced composite material are longitudinally aligned with the longitudinal axis of the conveyor.
