Abstract

Based on triangular meshes, an accurate path planning algorithm with the commonly used four laying angles in the robotic fibre placement (RFP) is proposed. The initial paths with different laying angles are firstly produced. Along certain directions, the offset curves are then obtained by a method of variable offset distances which are affected by the placement error and the number of fibre tows. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of this method.
