A Set of Novel Procedures for Carbon Fiber Reinforcement on Complex Curved Surfaces Using Multi Axis Additive Manufacturing

There has been considerable research in recent years on the additive manufacturing (AM) of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) parts based process fused deposition modeling (FDM). The currently-applied steps within pipeline, such as slicing and path planning, consider only planar case filament mostly make no use possibility to place single pre-impregnated (prepreg) filaments. Classical methods tape-laying laminating struggle with highly curved complex geometries require costly production molds, whereas when using AM, these can be realized more easily molds created same process. In this paper, a set algorithms is presented that aims resolve problems. Criteria are formulated which enable goal oriented development evaluation represent metrics for future methods. developed both continuous discontinuous patches much wider range applications designing CFRPs. This opens up new possibilities promising field. infrastructure further constitute progress field multi-axis non-planar planning general conducted proves formal applicability algorithms.
