ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING USING CONTINUOUS-FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITES WITH GRAPHENE

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250001705 titled 'ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING USING CONTINUOUS-FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITES WITH GRAPHENE

Original Abstract Submitted

additive manufacturing of continuous-fiber reinforced composites. more particularly, aspects of the invention relate to additive manufacturing systems and methods for fabricating 3d parts from continuous-fiber reinforced composites such as carbon-fiber or glass-fiber pre impregnated (“pre-preg”) sheets. a laser-assisted laminated object manufacturing method is used to fabricate continuous carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites (cfrpcs) using prepreg sheets with continuous-carbon fiber reinforcement. graphene functions as a modifier between the prepreg sheets to improve the mechanical properties of the cfrpcs, specifically low porosity, high concentrations of continuous carbon fibers, and improved interfacial bonding strength. this composite architecture design, involving laminated continuous-carbon fiber reinforced prepreg sheets and graphene-modified interfaces, provides a readily scalable manufacturing method for producing 3d parts with desirable characteristics.
