CATIA - Composites Laser Projection 2 (CLA)

Provides the ability to generate and edit laser projection files to the shopfloor

Product Overview


With the CATIA Composites Laser Projection 2 (CLA), manufacturing preparators can generate and edit Laser Projection outputs. 

It allows manufacturers to project the shape of the ply to be laid on the mold by the operator, resulting in a better positioning.This includes the support of major laser projector providers.

This includes the support of major laser projector providers.

The Composites Laser Projection consists of two commands:Laser Projection Export generates .ply and .cal files.Laser Projection File Reader reads .ply files and displays their content in the 3D area.

These two commands are launched from the Composites Manufacturing Preparation app.
