Abstract

Methods for developing a path plan for rollout compaction of a composite ply during composite manufacturing include: selecting a working path plan data file from a working path plan repository, running a path adaptation application program to access compaction history data files in a compaction history repository relating to the working path plan data file and to identify an inconsistency in the compaction history data files that is not resolved in the working path plan data file and generating a path adaptation for the working path plan data file based on the inconsistency that is not resolved to form an adapted path plan data file defining an adapted path plan that includes the path adaptation. Additional methods include using path plans for compaction on the layup tool, capturing image data and processing the image data to build and/or add to the compaction history data file.
