| Abstract Scope |
This paper explores the topic of 5-axis continuous fiber toolpath generation for reinforcing curved surfaces. When simple 2D unidirectional fiber routing patterns are projected onto non-planar surfaces, the fiber spacing can increase or decrease depending on local curvature of the surfaces. This paper presents algorithms that wrap 2D fiber patterns onto 3D surfaces via coordinate remapping techniques used in the computer graphics industry. The result is fiber routings in which fiber distortions in fiber spacings are minimized. The algorithms will be presented along with preliminary experimental results. |
