Abstract

Flexibility to design and ease to manufacture complex and customized features has asphalted Additive manufacturing (AM) path in various applications starting from defense, automotive to biomedical. However, the properties of AM parts lack integrity due to its layer manufacturing nature. The presence of fibers can enhance the properties of AM parts. The present paper discusses the fabrication of Fiber Reinforced Composite (FRCP) via AM techniques. Various AM methods used for manufacturing of F.R.C.P as well as issues faced are discussed along with detailed discussion on understanding anisotropic behavior in AM. This article overviews the challenges as well as future works in AM for fiber reinforced composites.
