We present an application of engineering and ergonomics principles in the design of a standardised tool, The Dibber, which is a tool with multiple geometric features to fit the diversity of lay-up tasks used in the composites industry. The Dibber is the result of a design process, which consists of a series of observations and prototyping to extract geometric requirements for lay-up tasks. To demonstrate that it is possible to design a standardised tool prototypes of the Dibber were distributed and 91 participants gave feedback. Our results are positive and show consistent patterns of use across industry sectors, as well as between novice and expert laminators.
我们展示了工程学和人体工程学原理在设计标准化工具中的应用，这个工具就是 Dibber，它具有多种几何特征，可以适应复合材料行业中使用的各种铺层任务。Dibber 是设计过程的结果，该过程包括一系列观察和原型制作，以提取铺层任务的几何要求。为了证明设计标准化工具是可行的，我们分发了 Dibber 的原型，有 91 名参与者提供了反馈。我们的结果是积极的，显示了不同行业部门以及新手和专家铺层人员之间一致的使用模式。
