    摘要: A composite manufacturing system includes a lamination tool, including a lamination surface, first locating targets extending the lamination surface, and second locating targets extending the lamination surface. The system includes a computer-aided measurement system to measure the first locating targets, the second locating targets, and line profiles of the lamination surface and to generate master surface-data and master target-data. The master target-data represents target positions of the first locating targets and the second locating targets. The master surface-data represents profile positions of the line profiles. The line profiles are associated with target pairs. Each one of the target pairs includes one of the first locating targets and an opposing one of the second locating targets. The system includes a computing device to generate a master file that establishes a spatial relationship between the master target-data and the master surface-data and to associate the master file with the lamination tool.
