CAESA® Winding

Modular CAM Software with integrated simulation

Optimized coverage planning

The focus of the CAESA® Composites Suite is the automated and optimized generation of courses and laying programs for the effective use Filament Winding technologies.

• Efficient coverage planning in just a few minutes.

• Consideration of machine restrictions such as minimum tow length and design requirements of the part.

• Adapt your laminate to the machine and minimize material usage and production time.

• Easy integration of new layup heads and machine kinematics.
