... of carbon fibre length, undergoing process induced scission during filament extrusion and IM and its impact on void content and mechanical properties. It was found that the post consolidation significantly reduced the voids and the mechanical properties were significantly improved compared...

... the manufacturing cost. This paper aims to analyse the performance of 3D printed fibre reinforced polymer composites to investigate the energy absorption capabilities and the residual properties before and after impact. Design/methodology/approach Various composites composed of carbon fibres and Kevlar fibres...

...Jose F. Rodriguez; James P. Thomas; John E. Renaud Fused‐deposition (FD) is a robotically controlled “fiber” extrusion process that produces a new class of materials with a variety of controllable mesostructural features related to fiber layout and the presence of voids. Mesostructural features...

...G. Zak; M. Haberer; C.B. Park; B. Benhabib As a way of enhancing the mechanical properties of photopolymer‐based parts produced by layered manufacturing (LM) techniques, the use of short glass‐fibre reinforcements has been recently explored in the literature. This paper proposes a novel methodology...
