Design for Fiber-reinforced Printing

This course introduces 3D printing of high-performance continuous fiber-reinforced polymers, a technique that combines the flexibility of additive manufacturing with the strength and lightweight properties of composite materials. You will learn key design principles, material selection strategies, and processing methods to optimize structural performance, while also developing the ability to identify and prevent common manufacturing defects. 

What you will learn: 

• Different 3D printing techniques for fiber-reinforced polymers and their applications. 
• Key design considerations such as fiber orientation and in-fill patterns for optimized performance. 
• How to recognize common defects in fiber-reinforced 3D prints and implement effective remedies. 
• Material choices and processing strategies for high-performance composite components.
