A method for applying at least one ply onto a tool or an uncured composite layup disposed on the tool includes automatically controlling slidably removing at least one nonstick separator relative to the at least one ply positioned on the at least one nonstick separator to inhibit at least a portion of the at least one ply from adhering to the tool or uncured composite layup while applying a moving compressive force to an outer surface of the at least one ply relative to a moving trailing edge of the at least one nonstick separator to adhere at least a portion of the at least one ply to the tool or to the uncured composite layup.

1. A method for applying at least one ply onto a tool or onto an uncured composite layup disposed on the tool, the method comprising: automatically controlling slidably removing at least one nonstick separator relative to the at least one ply positioned on the at least one nonstick separator to inhibit at least a portion of the at least one ply from adhering to the tool or to the uncured composite layup while applying a moving compressive force to an outer surface of the at least one ply relative to a moving trailing edge of the at least one nonstick separator to adhere at least a portion of the at least one ply to the tool or to the uncured composite layup. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising at least one of: positioning the at least one nonstick separator on at least a portion of the tool or the uncured composite layup disposed on the tool; andpositioning the at least one ply on the at least one nonstick separator to inhibit at least a portion of the at least one ply from adhering to the tool or to the uncured composite layup. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising: positioning the at least one nonstick separator on at least a portion of the tool or the uncured composite layup disposed on the tool, and positioning the at least one ply on the at least one nonstick separator to inhibit at least a portion of the at least one ply from adhering to the tool or to the uncured composite layup. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising at least one of: automatically positioning the at least one nonstick separator on at least a portion of the tool or the uncured composite layup disposed on the tool; and automatically positioning the at least one ply on the at least one nonstick separator to inhibit at least a portion of the at least one ply from adhering to the tool or to the uncured composite layup. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: automatically positioning the at least one nonstick separator on at least a portion of the tool or the uncured composite layup disposed on the tool, and automatically positioning the at least one ply on the at least one nonstick separator to inhibit at least a portion of the at least one ply from adhering to the tool or to the uncured composite layup. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the automatically controlling comprises: automatically controlling slidably removing at least one nonstick separator at the same rate as applying the moving compressive force to an outer surface of the at least one ply. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising: automatically positioning a plurality of nonstick separators on at least a portion of the tool or the uncured composite layup disposed on the tool. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the automatically controlling comprises: automatically controlling slidably removing a first one of the at least one nonstick separator in a first direction relative to the positioned at least one ply while applying the moving compressive force to the outer surface of the at least one ply adjacent to the moving trailing edge of the first one of the at least one nonstick separator to adhere at least a first portion of the at least one ply to the tool or to the uncured composite layup; andautomatically controlling slidably removing a second one of the at least one nonstick separator in a second direction relative to the positioned at least one ply while applying the moving compressive force to the outer surface of the at least one ply adjacent to the moving trailing edge of the second one of the at least one nonstick separator to adhere at least a second portion of the at least one ply to the tool or to the uncured composite layup. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising: automatically positioning a plurality of nonstick separators on at least a portion of the tool or the uncured composite layup disposed on the tool with edges of the plurality of nonstick separators defining at least one gap therebetween. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the automatically controlling comprises: automatically controlling applying a moving compressive force to an outer surface of the at least one ply over a gap disposed between the at least one nonstick separator comprising a plurality of nonstick separators to adhere at least a portion of the at least one ply to the uncured composite layup. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the tool comprises a non-flat planar molding surface, and the automatically controlling comprises: automatically controlling slidably removing the at least one nonstick separator relative to the positioned at least one ply while applying the moving compressive force to the outer surface of the at least one ply adjacent to the moving trailing edge of the at least one nonstick separator to adhere at least a portion of the at least one ply to the non-flat planar molding surface of the tool or to the uncured composite layup disposed on the non-flat planar molding surface. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the tool comprises intersecting surfaces, and the automatically controlling comprises: automatically controlling slidably removing the at least one nonstick separator relative to the positioned at least one ply while applying a moving compressive force to the outer surface of the at least one ply adjacent to the moving trailing edge of the at least one nonstick separator to adhere at least a portion of the at least one ply to the intersecting surfaces of the tool or to the uncured composite layup disposed on the intersecting surfaces. 13. The method of claim 1, further comprising: automatically controlling applying a moving compressive force to an outer surface of the at least one ply with the at least one nonstick separator disposed between the at least one ply and the tool or the uncured composite layup. 14. The method of claim 1, further comprising: applying heat to the ply. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one nonstick separator comprises a nonstick sheet. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one nonstick separator comprises at least one of an air cushion having a plurality of apertures through which air is emitted, a vibrating sheet, and separator having passages for receiving a cooled fluid therein. 17. The method of claim 1, further comprising at least one roller for applying the moving compressive force to the outer surface of the at least one ply. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one roller comprises at least one conical roller. 19. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one ply comprises at least one of a composite, adhesive, foam, wood, honeycomb, bagging material, peel ply, release film, bleeder, breather, and bagging film. 20. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one ply comprises a stack of plies.
