Abstract

Carbon fiber-reinforced composites (CFRCs) have been widely used in automotive, aerospace, sports equipment, and other industrial fields, due to the higher strength-to-weight ratio and modulus compared with metals and alloys. Innovations in additive-manufactured CFRCs have opened up new avenues for designing and manufacturing high-performance, low-cost complex composite structures. According to the structure and substrate type of carbon fiber, this paper firstly reviews the existing feasible technologies as well as their key elements and focuses on the research of additive manufactured CFRCs by fused deposition molding (FDM) and selective laser sintering (SLS). Furthermore, the typical applications and envisions of additive manufactured CFRCs were elaborated. Moreover, the existing challenges and problems are summarized from the aspects of materials, equipment, and software. In the future, more interdisciplinary research is needed on advanced materials, multiple processes, advanced equipment, and structural design, and there will be a broader research space for robot-assisted additive manufacturing and green manufacturing methods.

碳纤维增强复合材料的增材制造：综述

与金属和合金相比，碳纤维增强复合材料（CFRC）具有更高的强度重量比和模量，因此被广泛应用于汽车、航空航天、运动器材和其他工业领域。添加剂制造 CFRC 的创新为设计和制造高性能、低成本的复杂复合材料结构开辟了新途径。根据碳纤维的结构和基材类型，本文首先回顾了现有的可行技术及其关键要素，并重点介绍了熔融沉积成型（FDM）和选择性激光烧结（SLS）添加剂制造 CFRC 的研究。此外，还阐述了增材制造 CFRC 的典型应用和设想。此外，还从材料、设备和软件等方面总结了现有的挑战和问题。未来，需要在先进材料、多种工艺、先进设备和结构设计等方面开展更多的跨学科研究，机器人辅助增材制造和绿色制造方法将有更广阔的研究空间。

期刊介绍： Applied Composite Materials is an international journal dedicated to the publication of original full-length papers, review articles and short communications of the highest quality that advance the development and application of engineering composite materials. Its articles identify problems that limit the performance and reliability of the composite material and composite part; and propose solutions that lead to innovation in design and the successful exploitation and commercialization of composite materials across the widest spectrum of engineering uses. The main focus is on the quantitative descriptions of material systems and processing routes. Coverage includes management of time-dependent changes in microscopic and macroscopic structure and its exploitation from the material''s conception through to its eventual obsolescence.
