Additive Manufacturing of Continuous Fibre-Reinforced UV-Curable Epoxy Composites via Peristaltic-Driven Direct Ink Writing
This study presents a peristaltic-driven direct ink writing system for fabricating continuous aramid and glass fibre-reinforced UV-curable epoxy composites, demonstrating successful co-extrusion with in-situ curing that yields significant improvements in tensile strength, surface smoothness, and dielectric properties suitable for aerospace, automotive, and electronic applications.
