“…This can be attributed to lack of consolidation process that stimulates the mobility and diffusion of the polymer chains. Parandoush et al incorporated compaction roller and a laser source in an attempt to enhance the interlaminar lap shear strength through pressure and heat . The research concluded that by using a laser power of 26 W and roller speed of 1–2 mm s −1 , the lap shear strength obtained is 96% of that of compression molded specimen (9.87 MPa).…”

Additive manufacturing (AM) has brought about a revolution in the way we can manufacture complex products with customized features. AM has paved its way in the application areas ranging from aerospace, automotive, consumer to biomedical. AM of composites has attracted special attention due to its promise in improving, modifying, and diversifying the properties of generic materials through introducing reinforcements. This review provides a detailed landscape of fiber‐reinforced composites processed via AM techniques. Different AM processes, various material formulations, and strengths and drawbacks of AM methods are discussed. Emphasis is paid to AM techniques focusing on continuous fibers, as they hold the promise of becoming the next‐generation composite fabrication methodology. The article also tries to identify the potential of AM technology for fiber‐reinforced composites and delves into challenges facing the area.

“…For example, Parandoush et al proposed a novel method for AM of fiber composites by using prepreg composite. A laser is used to heat successive layers of prepreg tapes, and a compaction roller is utilized to bond these layers (see Figure 11) [23]. Moreover, Tian et al also proposed a new methodology for continuous fiber reinforcement in AM (see Figure 12 for Aircraft Technology of the pure PLA specimens.…”

Due to the developments and the interest of leading aerospace companies, additive manufacturing (AM) has become a highly discussed topic in the last decades. This is mainly due to its capability of producing parts with high geometrical complexity, short manufacturing lead times, and suitability for customization as well as for low-volume production. As is the case with aircraft fuselage body where weight reduction while keeping the demanding mechanical properties is of uttermost importance, modern technology applications sometimes need materials with unusual combinations of properties that cannot be solely provided by metals, polymers, or ceramics. In this case, composite materials combining two or more materials allow having the preferred properties in one material. Thus, AM of composites is becoming more and more important for critical applications. Fiber reinforcement can significantly enhance the properties of resins/polymeric matrix materials. Although continuous fiber composites even present higher mechanical performance, the manufacturing methods for chopped fibers are more commercially available. This chapter reviews the studies in the field involving many aspects spanning from design, process technology, and applications to available equipment.

“…More recently, studies on embedding continuous fiber in the plastic materials are realized mainly using FFF for different applications [13][14][15][16][17][18]. Various matrix materials such as Polyamide (PA), nylon, ULTEM®, Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) and Polypropylene (PP) are used whereas the most commonly used reinforcement materials is carbon [13][14][15][16][17][18]. Some studies also focus on using glass fibers or graphene as the reinforcement material [19,20].…”

3D printed polymer composites are gaining more interest due to weight reduction and high geometrical complexity freedom especially for highly demanding applications such as aerospace and defense. Using the material-extrusion based processes, polymer matrix composite parts with complex geometries can be designed and realized to improve the mechanical properties of pure thermoplastic parts. However, in addition to porosity found at the fracture interfaces, the layered nature additive manufacturing processes may become a limitation for the direct replacement for functional applications. In this study, the results of Charpy impact testing of chopped carbon fiber reinforced nylon fabricated by fused filament fabrication (FFF) are reported. The effects of the build direction and customized density by different infill strategies on the obtained toughness are presented in comparison to the one of nylon without any reinforcement. The toughness results show a severe anisotropy in toughness and high dependence on the infill strategy.
