Additive Manufacturing of Multifunctional Composites

Abstract

Additive Manufacturing of Multifunctional CompositesRecently there has been a surge in commercial 3D free-forming printing technologies. Thesesystems employ additive manufacturing (AM) methods to create complicated 3D structures usinga host of different techniques. While popular for a range of applications, commercial 3Dprinter~s limited material library makes them unsuitable for most Navy applications. In thisproposed effort investigators from the University of Delaware will explore new materials andAM fabrication processes to create multifunctional composites suitable for a range of DoDrelevant applications.
