Summary:FIBER PLACEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD WITH MODULATED LASER SCAN HEATING A fiber placement system (10) including a compaction roller (12) rotatable about an axis of rotation, the compaction roller (12) at least partially defining a compaction nip region (25), and a laser heating assembly (14) including a laser (52) that emits a beam (30) of electromagnetic radiation and a scan head (50) defining a scan field (86), the scan field being aligned with the compaction nip region (25), wherein the scan head (50) scans the beam (30) within the scan field (86).
