Continuous Fiber Angle Topology Optimization for Polymer Composite Deposition Additive Manufacturing Applications

Mechanical properties of parts produced with polymer deposition additive manufacturing (AM) depend on the print bead direction, particularly when short carbon-fiber reinforcement is added to the polymer feedstock. This offers a unique opportunity in the design of these structures since the AM print...
