A method for fabricating a preform (194) for a portion of an aircraft (1902) includes acquiring a sheet (118) of broad good fiber reinforced material, trimming the sheet to form layup pieces (116) having boundaries (119), placing the boundaries (119) into alignment, arranging the layup pieces (116) in a layup pattern (174) to form a ply (175), performing a placement operation that transports the layup pattern (174) onto a layup tool (190), and shaping the layup pattern (174) into conformance with a contour of the layup tool (190).
