Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the incremental buildup of monolithic components with a variety of materials, and material deposition locations.
Fiberglass, semi-structural insulation for recycled glass fiber and using a low cost silicon with pultruded rods, either fiberglass and a low cost resin, polyester for pultruded rods. It will reduce the use of wood, which is flammable, and still be structural.
Through the use of splicing methods, joining two different fiber types in the tow stage of the process enables great benefits to the strength of the material change.
Wire arc additive manufacturing has limited productivity and casting processes require complex molds that are expensive and time-consuming to produce.
Ceramic matrix composites are used in several industries, such as aerospace, for lightweight, high quality and high strength materials. But producing them is time consuming and often low quality.
ORNL has developed a new hybrid additive manufacturing technique to create complex three-dimensional shapes like air foils and wind generator blades much more quickly.
Important of the application is enabling a cost-effective precision manufacturing method Current technology is limited to injection molded individual pi-joints limiting control of pi-joint direction, this creates hurdle in introducing high volume production to the composite in
This technology combines 3D printing and compression molding to produce high-strength, low-porosity composite articles.
