Mode I, mode II and mixed mode I-II delamination of carbon fibre-reinforced polyamide composites 3D-printed by material extrusion Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Continuous carbon fibres can greatly improve the properties of 3D-printed polymer parts made by material extrusion. However, like all laminated composites, 3D-printed parts are susceptible to delamination damage. In addition, the printing process does not include a consolidation at high temperatures and pressure, unlike conventional manufacturing methods, which can lead to poor interlayer cohesion. Due to the combination of the susceptibility to ...
