Abstract The advancement of continuous fiber-reinforced polymer additive manufacturing (CFRP-AM) enables the fabrication of structures with complex geometries and superior properties. However, current design methodologies consider toolpath design and structure optimization as separate stages, with toolpath design typically serving as a post-processing step after structure optimization. This sequential methodology limits the full exploitation of fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPC) capabilities, particularly in achieving optimal structural integrity and manufacturability. In this paper, a manufacturing-oriented method is proposed for designing continuous FRPC structures, in which the structural layout and continuous fiber toolpaths are simultaneously optimized. The integrated design… More >
