ABSTRACT
A
dditive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, creates many opportunities
to produce complex, freeform products. In recent years, major steps have been
taken in the development of technologies for AM using continuous fibers to create
innovative, fiber reinforced products with good mechanical performance. We have
previously shown that high stiffness and strength can be obtained in simple test
geometries prepared by continuous carbon fiber AM. In this paper, we show how the
mechanical properties of the products depend on the fiber content as well as the
fiber layout, in flat geometries as well as more complex 3D geometries such as bicycle
lugs and other structural components. Design of the product and the fiber layout is
supported by modelling and simulation to optimize mechanical performance and
create a lightweight product.
