Methods and systems for automated placement of composite material on a surface of a component, the composite material including unidirectional fibers, is provided. A set of fiber paths along the surface is established, the set of fiber paths comprising at least one ply, each ply comprising a respective plurality of fiber paths being substantially aligned with a respective direction. An isotropy factor for the component is determined based on the set of fiber paths, the isotropy factor being indicative of a distribution of the plurality of fiber paths on the surface. When the isotropy factor exceeds a predetermined threshold, a respective layer of composite material is applied to the surface of the component using an automated fiber placement machine and for each of the at least one ply, wherein the unidirectional fibers of the composite material are applied along the set of fiber paths.
