DTE can also offer training in the Composite Grid Design approach (CPG). However, DTE can offer training in Design only (CPE) over 3 days, and Manufacturing Prep only (CPM) over 2 days on request. The Design & Manufacturing Prep (CPE & CPM) topics are covered together in this course over 4 days.

You will also learn how to prepare the design for manufacture by analysing and modifying the plies, individually or in multiples, to design-out the potential manufacturing issues that can come from poor draping or incorrect ply stack ordering. The design process is covered in two stages: a вЂњPreliminary DesignвЂќ stage in which the composite part is designed at a conceptual level by defining вЂњZonesвЂќ of uniform laminate on the reference surface, and defining transitions where the thicknesses vary and a вЂњDetailed DesignвЂќ stage where the preliminary design data is efficiently used to create a вЂњStackingвЂќ of individual plies. The course will cover a complete end-to end process including taking basic input data (required thicknesses, materials, stacking sequence rules) and using it to design the plies, preparing the design for manufacture and producing a plybook, or set of flattened ply profiles in DXF or IGES file format.
