Hybrid additive manufacturing (AM) and post-print process advances are increasing the already high design freedom and performance achievable with a novel AM/compression molding process—itself a hybrid—to produce structural carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) composite parts. Produced parts are cost competitive, allow for complex geometries and with higher flexibility to accommodate with low- to high-production volumes—becoming a competitive alternative to applications dominated by metals.
Agenda:
- Manufacturing of structural composites through AM
- Digital workflow (design, simulation for application, simulation for manufacturing)
- Hybrid AM manufacturing: how to combine AM for ultimate performance with other complementary low-cost feedstock materials by leveraging high speed processes such as injection molding and overmolding
