Question

Why is composite design called "concurrent" with manufacturing, unlike metals which are often "sequential"?

Accepted Answer

B. {'text': "Composites can't be designed without considering tooling & processing because part and process are interdependent", 'label': 'B'}

In composites, ply layup, cure schedule, tool surface, and inspection method directly determine the part. Sequential design-then-manufacture leads to manufacturing infeasibilities and warpage. Concurrent engineering avoids this.
