摘要： A solution for fiber placement tow guides, known as “scoops,” to be cooled that allows for increased heating of outgoing tows while having cooling channels within the scoop to avoid melting, layup of thermoplastic materials will often see material temperatures of over 800° Fahrenheit, which means the heat shield will be heated to even higher temperatures that distorts existing scoops to a degree where they cause unwanted layup quality or may even melt certain scoops.
