Abstract

In Phase 2 of the technical collaboration between Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Polynt Composites USA, a vinyl ester composite material for extrusion deposition additive manufacturing (AM) of thermoset materials was developed, characterized, and functionality demonstrated. Through this work modeling capability was developed to determine the desired in use material characteristics and refined process parameters. Coupon level testing was performed to validate the end use functionality of printed structures. Finally, the material was printed to evaluate its performance in composites tooling applications. This combined effort led to a commercial product, PRD-1520, for Polynt Composites USA specifically designed for large-scale extrusion deposition additive manufacturing of thermoset materials.
