“…However, CLT can be used to design the bending-extension and bending-twisting coupling effects to create smart materials that can deform in interesting ways in response to stress. An avenue of future work could be applying CLT to design smart 3D printed laminates (Ref [28][29][30][31][32]. Table 1 enlists various methods of AM of FRPCs along with the materials used and the properties likely to be enhanced after 3D printing.…”

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a potential engineering technique that could be used in various applications owing to its greatest advantages like flexibility in design, least expensive, versatile material synthesis and low material wastage. From various studies, it was understood that the mechanical performance of fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials (FRPCs) manufactured by AM was influenced by the process parameters to a certain extent. Additionally, numerous studies stated that the strength characteristics of the additively manufactured samples from continuous fibers, like carbon and glass, were high when compared with the samples reinforced with short fibers. Various earlier reviews enunciated that the increase in fiber volume fraction increased the strength and stiffness of the AM components many a times, while the mechanical characteristics of the samples also faced a significant increment due to the addition of fibers. Current work focuses on the influence of process parameters like process of 3D printing, materials used, layer thickness and so on upon the properties of additively manufactured FRPCs. Primary focus of the current study is to determine the effect of factors like thickness of the layer, content of the fiber in volume and the build orientation upon the properties of FRPC components manufactured by AM. This study also outlines the influence of some other parameters like loads applied, environment and analysis models on the properties of AM components along with their merits and demerits.

“…In addition, embedding carbon fibers can further strengthen the polycarbonate to expand its applications in 3-D printing. Espalin and the research team had incorporated carbon fibers into the PC polymer to design a composite which has higher mechanical strength [ 88 ]. Compared to PC polymer alone, the tensile strength increased by 77%.…”

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) has been investigated as a low-cost manufacturing method for fiber-reinforced composites. The traditional and mature technology for manufacturing continuous-carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics is Automated Fiber Placement (AFP), which uses a consolidation roller and an autoclave process to improve the quality of parts. Compared to AFP, FDM is simple in design and operation but lacks the ability to pressurize and heat the model. In this work, a novel method for printing continuous carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics with a pressure roller was investigated. First, the path processing of the pressure roller was researched, which will reduce the number of rotations of the pressure roller and increase the service life of the equipment and the efficiency of printing. Thereafter, three specimens were printed under different pressures and the tensile and bending strength of specimens were tested. The tensile strength and bending strength of specimens were enhanced to 644.8 MPa and 401.24 MPa by increasing the pressure, compared to the tensile strength and bending strength of specimens without pressure of 109.9 MPa and 163.13 MPa. However, excessive pressure will destroy the path of the continuous carbon fiber (CCF) and the surface quality of the model, and may even lead to printing failure.
