The future of 3D printing and additive manufacturing in a composites fabrication environment will depend on the technology’s ability to integrate continuous fiber reinforcement for production parts and provide high-quality, large-format structures for tooling.

 .

Modern Machine Shop ’s sister brands CompositesWorld and Additive Manufacturing will host an Additive Manufacturing Workshop for Composites at CAMX, the composites and advanced materials expo. The workshop takes place September 25, 2019, and will explore the evolution of 3D printing technology and fiber reinforcement. This half-day seminar will offer insight into the current state of the art in continuous fiber and large-format additive manufacturing (AM) and provide a glimpse of where and how these technologies are evolving to meet the needs of high-performance parts and structures.

“The use of fiber — whether carbon, glass or natural — is traditionally chopped, but several AM systems on the market or about to enter the market […]
