Abstract：Automatic tape laying is the key molding technology of advanced composite material. According to the
Two-step automated tape laying (Two-step ATL) technology which parts the process of shear with laying prepreg newly
proposed, the design of prepreg tape cutting platform is discussed in detail in this paper. The design includs designing and
building the prepreg tape cutting platform with double cutters, the research of double cutters cutting track algorithm based
on the automatic tape laying trajectory planning software and the implantation of cutting information. In the end the possible
problems cutting typical boundary on this platform is explored by the test, and error analysis of the platform is given.
This research provides basis for the development of two-step ATL.
