A system and method of inspecting material laid by a material placement machine. Light is directed onto the material in a direction essentially normal to the material to illuminate a section of the material. Laser energy is projected onto the section at an angle predetermined to reveal inconsistencies in the section. This system provides improved illumination for material widths exceeding six inches and is scalable for inspecting various material widths.
