Abstract
Process development cycles in Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) manufacturing are largely data starved and based on trial and error. NASA Langley Research Center has previously developed the In Situ Thermographic Inspection System (ISTIS) to perform online inspections of AFP for manufacturing defects. In this paper we have utilized ISTIS to perform process monitoring and correlated changes in machine operating parameters to overall part quality and defect occurrence.
