Abstract
There is disclosed a computer-implemented method of generating a movement profile for a layup procedure, the movement profile defining relative movement between an applicator head and a tool along a head path for laying up a course of composite material, the method comprising: determining a bond strength profile along the head path (428); and determining a movement profile based on the bond strength profile (430), wherein the movement profile includes a variable rate of relative movement.
Claims24
A method of generating a movement profile for a layup procedure, the movement profile defining relative movement between an applicator head and a tool along a head path for laying up a course of composite material, the method comprising:
- determining a bond strength profile along the head path;
- and
- determining a movement profile based on the bond strength profile, wherein the movement profile includes a variable rate of relative movement.

(canceled)
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, a signal or computer program comprising computer-readable instructions that, when read by a computer, causes the performance of a method of generating a movement profile for a layup procedure, the movement profile defining relative movement between an applicator head and a tool along a head path for laying up a course of composite material, the method comprising:
- determining a bond strength profile along the head path;
- and
- determining a movement profile based on the bond strength profile, wherein the movement profile includes a variable rate of relative movement.

(canceled)
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- at least one memory comprising computer readable instructions;
- the at least one processor being configured to read the computer readable instructions, wherein the instructions are configured to cause the processor to perform a method of generating a movement profile for a layup procedure, the movement profile defining relative movement between an applicator head and a tool along a head path for laying up a course of composite material, the method comprising:
- determining a bond strength profile along the head path;
- and
- determining a movement profile based on the bond strength profile, wherein the movement profile includes a variable rate of relative movement.
