A tacking element for tacking workpieces in composite manufacturing includes a base member, an actuating member and a heating member. The actuating member secured to the base member. The heating member disposed on the base member or the actuating member and configured to selectively radiate heat toward the actuating member. The actuating member is configured to transform from an inactive position to an active position in response to the heat from the heating member. A tacking stick and system that implements the tacking element is provided. A method for tacking workpieces in composite manufacturing is also provided.
