ABSTRACT:
A system that projects a multi-color laser beam image based on assembly or alignment data of a manufacturing process onto a work surface. The system provides, for example, an optical layup template in manufacturing processes, especially the layup of composite laminates. In various implementations additional important features are shown. A plurality of lasers emit beams of different colors, including colors different from that emitted by any one laser. In certain implementations, the system comprises a red and a green laser adapted to emit red, green and yellow laser beams. Software to control the system is also disclosed.
