Abstract
A system may include a 3D core design engine and a 3D core printing engine. The 3D core design engine may be configured to determine, in a CAD model, an under-core ply of a composite part and a core footprint on the under-core ply specified for an additive 3D core to be manufactured via additive manufacturing for insertion into the composite part, compute a bottom core surface of the additive 3D core from the under-core ply and core footprint, access core design parameters for the additive 3D core; and construct an additive 3D core design in the CAD model based on the computed bottom core surface and the core shape parameters. The 3D core printing engine may be configured to store the additive 3D core design to support subsequent manufacture of the additive 3D core via additive manufacturing.
