Abstract
A computational fluid dynamics model has been developed to predict the behavior of a printed strands during a novel material extrusion additive manufacturing and compression molding process. While the traditional additive manufacturing process enables control over the fiber orientation within the part, it would also result in high void content. On the other hand, compression molding produces parts with low porosity levels at rapid processing cycle time but lacks control over the microstructure. The novel additive manufacturing - compression molding (AM-CM) integrating both these processes offers control over both the microstructure and porosity to manufacturing high performance composite parts. The numerical model developed here enables to analyze the effect of processing parameters on the behaviour of printed layer that is subsequently compressed and to determine the optimal printing parameters for highperformance composite part design.
