| Abstract Scope |
The EPITHER process is an innovative way of shaping C/Thermoplastic composite materials to produce massive structural parts that combine the strength of CRFT composite materials with the high production rates of forging. Composite structural parts contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions by reducing weight, especially those in motion for power transmission. This process has a preforming step necessary for the placement and orientation of continuous carbon fiber composites necessary to increase their characteristics. In this study, this preforming step is performed by 3D printing. In order to obtain finished products with good dimensional and material characteristics, this study provides elements for optimizing certain process parameters and the associated results, particularly at different steps in the forming process. |
