A system for separating a prepreg composite material ply from a backing includes a first support configured to contact a first surface of the backing apart from a corner defined by the ply and the backing. A second support is configured to contact a second surface of the ply apart from the corner. A corner displacer is coupled to at least one of the first support and the second support. The corner displacer is configured to displace the corner in a first direction and an opposite second direction to thereby bend portions of the ply and the backing between the corner and the first support and the second support, and the portions of the ply and the backing thereby separate from each other.
A system for separating a ply from a backing, the backing comprising a first surface facing away from the ply, the ply comprising a second surface facing away from the backing, and the ply and the backing together defining a corner, the system comprising:
A system for separating a ply from a backing, the backing comprising a first surface facing away from the ply, the ply comprising a second surface facing away from the backing, and the ply and the backing together defining a corner, wherein the ply and the backing include a first edge and a second edge, the first edge and the second edge intersecting at the corner, the system comprising:
