Additive patching is a process in which printers with multiple axes deposit molten material onto a pre-defined surface to form a bond. Studying the effect of surface roughness and process parameters selected for printing auxiliary part on the bond helps in improving the strength of the final component. Particularly, the influence of surface roughness, as established by adhesion theory, has not been evaluated in the framework of additive manufacturing (AM). A full factorial design of experiments with five replications was conducted on two levels and three factors, viz., layer thickness, surface roughness, and raster angle to examine the underlying effects …

Ever since its development in 1980s, Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) has been an attractive additive manufacturing technology due to its flexibility to create intricate shapes at lower costs and faster manufacturing process than subtractive techniques. These advantages make FFF suitable for printing molds for use in traditional composites manufacturing processes. Combining FFF with high-temperature thermoplastic composites enables producing molds that not only sustain autoclave conditions but also have low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). A semi-crystalline polymer, Poly-phenylene Sulfide (PPS), with 50% by weight of carbon fiber is used as feedstock material for FFF. Nonetheless, PPS is sensitive to undergo …
