n their article about High-performance
creations: additive manufacturing and
composites (JEC Magazine no. 115), the
authors Prof. David Rosen and Dr. Florian
Doetzer pointed out the possibilities that
arise when composites manufacturing and
additive manufacturing (AM) processes
complement each other. Continuing the
discussion, this article sheds more light
on the different additive manufacturing
options that are available for composite
producers, with a special focus on a new
additive composite technology: Fibre
Patch Placement.
additive manufacturing options for composites. Working with thin ply spread tow
tape, the patch technology has often been
framed as a "3D AFP" process, but it actually offers considerably more flexibility at
just a fraction of the cost. Therefore, the
authors had a closer look at additive manufacturing technology for composites.
Generally speaking, automated fibre
placement (AFP) and automated tape laying (ATL) are also additive manufacturing
processes. Both build up a component by
additively placing fibres. AM processes for
composites range from established ATL
systems to 3D filament printers as new
entrants in the market. Let us have a look
at these two extremes.
Modern tape laying systems achieve highest fibre throughput and optimal traverse
speed of the laying heads by placing tapes
on flat tools, which usually is the first (2D)
step in the process. For example, FILL and
Production solutions
