Abstract
The present disclosure provides an apparatus that includes a fiber gun. In an embodiment, the apparatus may controllably cut one or more fibers into one or more fiber segments. In an embodiment, the apparatus may controllably shape one or more fibers into different shapes (e.g., from loops into substantially straight fibers). In an embodiment, the apparatus may controllably position the one or more fiber segments onto a supporting member (e.g., a composite component). For example, the apparatus may include a robot that may controllably move the fiber gun relative to a supporting member and align the fiber gun such that the one or more fiber segments are controllably positioned on the supporting member. The apparatus may further include a controller that at least partially controls operation of the apparatus.
