01 What
Turning the monocoque's CAD surface into a repeatable, low-waste carbon-fibre part meant simulating drapability and planning every ply before the mould was touched. Hands-on manufacturing work on the shop floor, learning by doing alongside peers laying up the parts.
02 How
- 01Defined ply zones and drop-offs on the monocoque surface in Siemens NX / Fibersim.
- 02Ran drapability simulation to verify fibre orientation, then nested plies to reduce waste and exported flat patterns for cutting.
- 03Created a ply book to standardise manufacturing and layup quality.
03 Result
- -Consistent, quality-controlled manufacturing process.
- -Reduced material waste and layup errors.
- -Clean cured monocoque with minimal fibre-orientation deviation.
