Abstract: As the automated fiber placement(AFP) technology has been extensively applied in the area of wide plane composite manufacture, AFP software technology in the design and fabrication of composite is becoming increasing significant. CADFiber and Vericut have been purchased in domestic, the key technologies of the commercial AFP software on trajectory planning, post processing, and simulation are introduced and compared, especially the difference of trajectory planning algorithm and post processing are discussed. Furthermore, the development of AFP software and the application of the purchased software in domestic are reported. On account of the gap between the domestic AFP software and commercial software in foreign, beneficial reference for the development of independent intellectual property rights of AFP software through introducing the CADFiber and Vericut system has provided.

Key words: composite materials, automated fiber placement, trajectory planning, post processing, simulation
