Composites processing software (for engineers)

• The R.A.I.L. Process Rapid Automated Induction Lamination process was invented at the Center for Composite Materials (CCM) using COMPROSOFT. It is a unique process that merges a number of technologies to produce composite laminates are very high production rates. It is currently being used by ATK Tactical Systems WV to manufacture parts for their M829E3 SABOT program. (ATK are the worlds largest user of thermoplastic prepreg material).

The RAIL Process was designed from concept
with COMPROSOFT

• A novel process for manufacturing thin thermoplastic laminates to replace existing palladium microcontacts under highly non-isothermal behavior (MicroContacts Inc. Hicksville NY) This work led to the first use of composites for microcontact applications which replace very expensive existing palladium.
• COMPROSOFT was used in the development of a low cost method for manufacturing 10 wedges for a composite sabot (ATK Tactical Systems, WV). This work led to the use of cost effective infrared heaters to replace a very expensive mold assembly being considered in industry for high volume thermoplastic laminate production.

COMPROSOFT was used in the design of a number of processes that used Infrared heating technology

• COMPROSOFT was used as the primary application for development of a new novel seam welder design which is currently being used for a TPU based collapsible fuel and water storage tank for Triton Systems Inc.
• COMPROSOFT is being used as the primary software tool for designing a manufacturing process for continuous carbon-based thermoplastic composite material at high throughput for Schlumberger, Sugar Land, TX. They intend to use this process to manufacture underground composite cable structures for a wellhead monitoring system.
