Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for manufacturing a composite component. User input indicative of component parameters for fabrication of the composite component are obtained, the component parameters including a prepreg offcut material parameter indicative of a prepreg offcut to be recycled. At least one staging parameter for a staging process of the prepreg offcut is determined based on the prepreg offcut material parameter. A compression moulding process map for the fabrication is determined based on the component parameters A manufacturing parameters for the fabrication is determined based on the compression moulding process map. At least one signal indicative of the staging parameters, the compression moulding process map, and the manufacturing parameters is issued.
