ADVANCED COMPOSITES MANUFACTURING: AUTOMATED FIBER PLACEMENT

Currently, fiber-reinforced polymer composites are mostly made by hand, with only three automated technologies that allow for less human labor: pultrusion, filament winding, and automated fiber placement (AFP) with tape layering (ATL). At Anisoprint, we deal with 3D printing of continuous fiber reinforced composites, and will show you the closest to it — AFP with ATL—that in a way resemble each other.
