Abstract

The development of extrusion techniques of long or continuous fibre-reinforced thermoplastics (cFRTP) suitable for additive manufacturing (AM) of large-sized parts and/or high-performance products is presented, with an AM framework, having a list of subsystems and path schemes, as well as the most critical variables to be assessed, adjusted and monitored. The parameters/conditions for composites machining and, hence, to define hybridization requirements are explored.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Convection is the heat transfer between a solid and a moving fluid. The convection, or film coefficient, is the proportionality constant between the heat flux and the thermodynamic driving force for the flow of heat (i.e. the temperature difference, ΔT).

  2. 2.

    Full factorial DOE design: 2 materials × 3 orientations × 2 end-mills × 2 cutting speeds × 2 feeds × 2 depths of cut = 96 experiments.
