Laminate Tools is an advanced Windows application that seamlessly integrates the design, analysis, and manufacturing processes for composite structures. With a strong focus on composite materials, it acts as a pre- and post-processor for finite element analysis and the generation of manufacturing data, offering cutting-edge drape simulation capabilities for ply definition. The software is designed to connect various disciplines, facilitate data sharing between departments, and ensure a comprehensive understanding of structural designs. Users can import models from a wide range of CAD systems, define materials and ply configurations through an intuitive graphical interface, and utilize proven simulation algorithms to detect manufacturability issues early. It streamlines the generation of accurate analysis models that align with design intentions and permits detailed review using composite failure criteria to quickly identify potential weaknesses. Additionally, Laminate Tools produces essential manufacturing outputs, such as flat patterns and plybooks, enhancing communication with clients and production teams.

The Laminate Analysis Program (LAP) is a specialized Windows-based software tool dedicated to the analysis and design of composite material laminates. Known for its user-friendly interface and robust functionality, LAP serves a global audience including designers and researchers in over 30 countries. It facilitates the analysis of composite laminates subjected to both in-plane and transverse loads and moments, without restrictions on size apart from thickness. The software is pivotal in preliminary design stages for customizing stacking sequences, analyzing composites in conjunction with finite element methods, and optimizing designs by examining laminate behavior on a layer-by-layer basis. Noteworthy for its pioneering role as the first commercial PC software for composite laminate analysis, LAP is trusted by industry leaders like Airbus UK, reinforcing its enduring impact and preference in both industrial and academic settings.

PlyMatch is a sophisticated solution designed to enhance precision in the layup process of composite materials. Integrating advanced hardware with proprietary software, PlyMatch assists operators in ensuring accurate ply placement during manual lay-up manufacturing. The system is particularly crucial when dealing with high-cost, high-performance composite structures where both the sequence and orientation of plies significantly impact the final product's quality. PlyMatch features a visual control system that overlays a real-time video display with computer-generated images, helping operators align plies seamlessly. Originating from CAD applications or Anaglyph's Laminate Tools, the data required for these images integrates directly without needing translation, streamlining the workflow. PlyMatch stands as a testament to a collaborative two-year initiative, combining Anaglyph's expertise with the National Physical Laboratory's support, showcasing the innovation's potential for those in the composite manufacturing sector.
