Abstract

Recent advancements in the Additive Manufacturing (AM) Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) approach are described with focus on the application to tooling and molds for composite materials and structures. A detailed summary of mechanical properties of printed parts for different composite material systems is presented and discussed. These material systems are comprised of discontinuous fiber-reinforced polymers characterized by fiber orientation dominantly parallel to the direction of the extrudate. An overview of the FFF process and its physical phenomena is given including the flow and resulting fiber orientation, the bond formation between adjacent beads and the thermomechanical solidification behavior of the deposited material. Based on reviewed research in these different phenomena, future research needs are discussed and desirable objectives are formulated.
