Foreign Object Detection in composite manufacturing

Join our webinar to learn how AI-powered inspection with LAP's INSPECT-PRO camera system elevates quality and process reliability in composite layup processes.

LAP will demonstrate how its INSPECT-PRO camera system for Foreign Object Detection (FOD) identifies unwanted objects on production tools before they can affect the composite layup process. The webinar will guide you through the complete workflow - from defining the camera's field of view to setting up and referencing the camera, performing FOD, and training the AI for specific production requirements.

Using video sequences, we will demonstrate the FOD workflow step by step and show how INSPECT-PRO works with LAP's CAD-PRO Xpert laser projection system and PRO-SOFT operating software. Discover how combining laser guidance with AI-powered inspection can improve process reliability, ensure consistent quality, and make manual composite manufacturing more efficient.
