Material extrusion additive manufacturing of continuous fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites: A review and outlook

In recent years, three-dimensional printing (3DP) technology has developed to include composite materials. Most of the development to date in this area has involved particulate or short fibre reinforced composites, whilst continuous fibre printing remains a relatively novel research area. This review paper focuses on the state-of-the-art of continuous fibre reinforced 3DP technology (CF-3DP). The materials and devices being used in the current...
