FEATURE / MANUFACTURING SUPPORT TOOLS Figure 4. Drape simulation outputs, based on the use of the Virtual Fabric Placement tool. data through software developed in a commercially available game engine. It allows a user to control the flow of instructions by interacting with them, and using a projected user interface, Figure 5 for a basic example of this feature. The last feature of note is the potential for enhanced traceability. Since the system incorporates a user tracking camera, it can be used to keep a record of the laminator's actions during the drape task. This recording gives far more useful and current manufacturing data than can be gleaned from a simple "stamp and tick" form. It allows, on review, engineers to see the length of time the task took; enabling assessment 40 | SAMPE JOURNAL | for features or areas which took longer or less time than expected, and whether the laminator followed the specified instructions. PROCESS DEPLOYMENT To date the present novel process solution has been tested with participants at several UK locations including Weston College (https://www. weston.ac.uk/); Yeovil College (https://www.yeovil. ac.uk/); the National Composites Centre (NCC) (https://www.nccuk.com/), and; Jo Bird & Co Ltd (http://www.jobird.co.uk/). This iteration of the LayupRITE system was predominantly used to showcase the potential training applications N OV E M B E R / D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 9 w w w. s a m p e . o r ghttps://www.weston.ac.uk/ https://www.yeovil.ac.uk/ https://www.weston.ac.uk/ https://www.yeovil.ac.uk/ https://www.nccuk.com/ http://www.jobird.co.uk/ http://www.expanded-materials.com/ https://www.torrtech.com http://www.sampe.org
