If you are involved with fiber placement then you are familiar with the difficulties of migrating parts from one machine to another.  FiPESTM will help to ease the transition by alerting you to the issues you may encounter when making this transition. Not only will FiPESTM identify an issue, but it will also offer advice about how to make the transition in light of the issue.

FiPESTM opens with a screen that shows 7 tabs across the top.  Each tab will display a different function of the software. Below are screen shots & explanations for each form.

Machine Definition:  A fiber placement machine has several attributes or features. On this form each attribute is listed.  The user selects an attribute to display the definition. Embedded in the definition is an example of representative values and potential effects of the attribute on the machine or the part being fabricated.  

.

Part Definition:  A part being fiber placed has several attributes or features. On this form each attribute is listed.  The user selects an attribute to display the definition. Embedded in the definition are recommendations and advice pertinent to this feature in terms of fiber placement.

Add/Modify Machine: The FiPESTM machine database currently contains over 25  machines. The user can easily update existing machine attributes, add new machines and delete old ones. 

Add/Modify Part: The FiPESTM part definition screen contains over 12 different part attributes which effect fiber placement that can be defined for a specific part.  Users can easily create and edit parts with unique attributes as well as delete obsolete ones.

Compare Machines: This form includes two different options for comparing machines. First, two machines can be compared to each other and, second, one machine can be compared to every machine in the database, and the comparison can also be limited to specified attributes. Both graphical and textual results can be displayed. A report is generated that can either be printed or saved to a file.
