Development of a Large-scale Continuous Carbon Fiber Composite Additive Manufacturing System Based on Fused Granular Fabrication
DownloadSpring 2024
The thesis details the design and development of a method to additively manufacture continuous carbon fiber in a polyether ether ketone (PEEK) polymer matrix at a large scale. The majority of the additive manufacturing techniques are limited by size and printing time. Furthermore, the mechanical...

Development of a Multi-material Extruder System to 3D Print Hard Thermoplastics, Soft Elastomers and Liquid Metals
DownloadSpring 2019
Functional sensors often consist of rigid parts, soft rubber-like parts, and mechanically tunable electronic components. As part of a larger project to 3D print tunable antennas, it was tasked to develop a printer that could directly produce 3D stretchable electronics with soft and hard...

Evaluation and prediction of the tensile properties of continuous fiber-reinforced 3D printed structures composite structures
Download2016
Carey, Jason P., Melenka, Garrett W., Schofield, Jonathon, Dawson, Michael R., Cheung, Benjamin O.
Three dimensional (3D) printing is a technique conventionally used to manufacture prototypes. Commercial desktop 3D printers have become available which produce functional 3D printed parts. The MarkOne by Mark Forged manufactures printed structures reinforced with continuous Carbon, Fiberglass or...
