| Popis: | Continuous fibre-reinforced composites have significant industrial importance and usage. However, they are limited by design considerations and high-cost manufacturing operations. This article presents a way forward to utilize Fused Deposition Modelling – a 3D printing technique – to manufacture continuous carbon fibre-reinforced thermoplastics. Several parameters including number of reinforced layers, material impact and interlayer gap have been investigated and optimized using response surface method. Successful incorporation of modified novel nozzle design in a dual nozzle setup resulted in the realization of controlled manufacturing of continuously reinforced composites leading to reinforced yet smooth surface finished samples. Several samples were made, and mechanical testing, parameter optimization, strength calculations and fracture analysis were carried out. For polylactic acid (PLA), tensile strength of 112 MPa and flexural strength of 164 MPA were achieved – an almost 3 times increase from pure PLA printing. The approach presented in this article can forward continuous fibre-reinforced composites for industrial usage with its controlled fibre layup and programmable thread orientation features. |
