VISTAGY Announces Webinar “Reducing Risk and Cycle Time in Composite Airframe Manufacturing: A Holistic Approach”
VISTAGY, Inc. announced it will present a Webinar entitled “Reducing Risk and Cycle Time in Composite Airframe Manufacturing: A Holistic Approach.” The Webinar is scheduled for 11 AM EST on November 20.

As the use of composites has gone main stream in large, primary aero structures, the aerospace industry is now faced with the challenges of reducing the inherent risks associated with these new materials while simultaneously improving the quality of their products. As a result, new manufacturing approaches are being developed to reduce the cost and time associated with their fabrication and assembly.
Progressive aerospace firms are meeting these challenges by applying a holistic approach that closely integrates composite and assembly design tools with manufacturing systems, quality planning and the supply chain.
Join us for the second of a two-part series that will explore these issues and suggest some solutions for manufacturing composite airframes. Related quality planning and supply chain concerns will also be discussed, such as how to help subcontractors deliver a product that meets precise specifications.
Further, it will provide information on:
Developing a seamless flow of data from design to the manufacturing floor
Consistently supporting multiple manufacturing processes, such as Automated Tape Laying, Automated Fiber Placement, Resin Transfer Molding and Automated Drilling/Fastening
Optimizing assemblies by providing feedback much later in the design and manufacturing process
Enacting a flexible digital strategy for the efficient consumption of data sets in the manufacturing plans
Providing subcontractors with the tools to deliver products that meet precise specifications
In addition to Mr. Garcia, VISTAGY Director of Product and Market Strategy Director John O’Connor and VISTAGY Director of Applications Engineering Peter Ungaro will be presenting.
