Abstract: A system for forming a structural member which includes a first collimated light source and a reservoir containing a volume of photo-monomer resin wherein the first collimated light source is positioned spaced apart from the photo-monomer resin. The system further includes a first face sheet structure defining at least one bore which extends through the first face sheet structure wherein a portion of the first face sheet structure is positioned under a surface of the volume of photo-monomer resin such that photo-monomer resin is positioned within the bore.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for manufacturing an unconsolidated composite material. Sensor data is received from a sensor system for a composite material manufacturing system, wherein the sensor data is received during manufacturing of the unconsolidated composite material by the composite material manufacturing system. A set of predicted properties is determined for a number of portions of the unconsolidated composite material as completed from manufacturing by the composite material manufacturing system using the sensor data. A quality level for the number of portions of the unconsolidated composite material is identified based on the set of predicted properties for the number of portions of the unconsolidated composite material.

Abstract: A sandwich structure configured to be secured with a mechanical fastener includes a core assembly, which includes a polymer component configured for supporting a mechanical fastener connector insert. The core assembly further includes an open cellular component formed from a plurality of self-propagating photopolymer waveguides positioned around the polymer component, wherein a first portion of the plurality of self-propagating photopolymer waveguides is secured to and extends from the polymer component. Further included is a first face sheet secured to a first side of the core assembly, wherein the first portion of the plurality of self-propagating photopolymer waveguides has a distal end spaced apart from the polymer component and secured to the second face sheet.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, computer program product, and a method for manufacturing an unconsolidated composite material. Sensor data is received from a sensor system for a composite material manufacturing system. The sensor data is received during manufacturing an unconsolidated composite material by the composite material manufacturing system. A set of predicted properties is determined for a number of portions of the unconsolidated composite material using the sensor data. The set of predicted properties is for the number of portions of the unconsolidated composite material as a completed product. A corrective action is performed based on a quality level for the number of portions of the unconsolidated composite material.
