Continuous fibers can make additively manufactured components significantly stronger and stiffer, but only when the fiber paths follow the structural demands of the part.
Research scope
- Build computationally efficient models of free-form composite parts.
- Optimize fiber paths for modulus, strength, mass, cost, and manufacturability.
- Translate optimized paths into reliable multi-axis fabrication.
- Measure the printed parts and connect observed performance back to the model.
The result is an integrated design-to-fabrication workflow for high-performance composite components.
