US Army Characterized Continuous 3D Printed Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Thermoplastic Composite Parts – 3DPrint.com

A trio of researchers with the US Army Tank-Automotive Research Development, and Engineering Center in Michigan recently published a study, titled “Characterization of Continuous Fiber-Reinforced Composite Materials Manufactured Via Fused Filament Fabrication,” that worked to characterize continuous carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite parts that were 3D printed on a Mark Two 3D printer.
