3D Printing of Long Fiber Composite Materials

Abstract

Deepak Vijayakumar. 3D printing of long fiber composites: Master Thesis: VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering Technology, 2023. Thesis Head: Ing. Jakub Měsíček, Ph.D. This thesis discusses about printing of long fiber composites. The theoretical part summarises about starting from Introduction to Technologies for 3D printing of various sorts, following it is the production process of the 3D printing. Following from there this thesis discusses various kinds of materials are used to print long fiber composites. Lastly, the theoretical part discusses about the materials which are used in this thesis to print the long fiber composites. In practical part of this thesis explains about the 3D printer which is used to print long fiber composite. The experimental process how to print the specimen using the Markforged 3D printer is explained in step-by-step procedure.
