VIVAERO Cevotec to showcase Fibre Patch Placement for aerostructures at JEC World At JEC World 2026, Cevotec presents new Fibre Patch Placement (FPP) capabilities designed to help aerospace suppliers automate composite aerostructures that have remained manual despite years of automation efforts. Positioned as the bridge between Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) and hand lay-up, Fibre Patch Placement enables robotic lamination for complex 3D geometries, variable thickness regions and mixed-material assemblies - applications that typically fall outside AFP’s process window and become production bottlenecks at scale. Demonstrators targeting real production challenges...At the show, Cevotec introduces a new aerospace demonstrator highlighting advanced lay-up features representative of secondary aerostructures produced in series environments. This demonstrator showcases high-precision robotic placement on complex geometries, with fibre and patch architectures not achievable using continuous-t...
