Abstract

In recent years, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques has revolutionized composite design. Researchers have investigated intricate structures with tailored properties and dynamic responsive behaviors by leveraging additive manufacturing (AM) methods, such as AI-guided 3D printing and 4D printing. This approach accelerates simulations, optimizes material selection, design of new structures with multi functionalities, and reduces time and costs. AI/ML techniques offer powerful tools for advancing the designs of high-performance composites and innovative functional materials. Here, a summary of current AI/ML guided designs of digital materials composites and responsive materials is provided, and a discussion of opportunities and challenges to further advance in this area is followed.
