To demonstrate the use of process simulation to reliably compensate tooling geometry in an effort to minimize the impact of process induced deformations for composite component manufacture.
SuCCeSS
The project successfully demonstrated the ability to use process simulation to predetermine tooling surface geometry to minimize the impact of process induced deformations in composite component manufacture
The manufacturing approach and prototype developed by this project has facilitated Boeing Winnipeg’s continued success in manufacturing this large and important piece of composite structure
The project supported Boeing’s development of the next generation composite main landing gear door design that has resulted in a weight reduction for this component
The project connected Boeing with a small Western Canadian company for the purpose of evaluating their electron beam curing technology for composite aerospace tooling
ProjeCt hIGhLIGhtS
Used process simulation to define compensated tooling geometry for prototyping, effectively eliminating several iterations of tooling geometry design
Supported the development of a specialized capability at Boeing Winnipeg to manufacture large main landing gear doors using a novel design that saves component weight
Completed an evaluation of electron beam cured tooling for composite manufacturing
CIC personnel directly involved and working onsite at the Boeing facility providing engineering support to the Boeing team
VaLue
Supported Boeing Winnipeg developing a new product, the 787 Main Landing Gear Door
Facilitated Boeing Winnipeg successfully delivering on design and development of the 787 main landing gear door, resulting in job retention in Manitoba
The process simulation technique conducted by Convergent demonstrated during this project was subsequently used to design tooling for the 787 fuselage shear ties manufactured at Boeing Winnipeg resulting in significant cost savings in tooling
Developed a strong relationship between Boeing Winnipeg and the CIC
