This book focuses on the emerging additive manufacturing technology and its applications beyond state-of-the-art, fibre-reinforced thermoplastics. It also discusses the development of a hybrid, integrated process that combines additive and subtractive operations in a single-step platform, allowing CAD-to-Part production with freeform shapes using long or continuous fibre-reinforced thermoplastics. The book covers the entire value chain of this next-generation technology, from part design and materials composition to transformation stages, product evaluation, and end-of-life studies. Moreover, it addresses the following engineering issues: • Design rules for hybrid additive manufacturing; • Thermoplastic compounds for high-temperature and -strength applications; • Advanced extrusion heads and process concepts; • Hybridisation strategies; • Software ecosystems for hAM design, pre-processing, process planning, emulating and multi-axis processing; • 3D path generators for hAM based on a multi-objective optimisation algorithm that matches the recent curved adaptive slicing method with a new transversal scheme; • hAM parameters, real-time monitoring and closed-loop control; • Multiparametric nondestructive testing (NDT) tools customised for FRTP AM parts; • Sustainable manufacturing processes validated by advanced LCA/LCC models.

As designers and engineers continue to push the boundaries of high-performance design, fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) are increasingly finding use in structural applications due to their light weight and superior mechanical properties. Many applications, especially in the aerospace and automotive industries, require geometrically complex designs with multiple components and materials assembled during manufacturing - typically using mechanical fasteners or adhesives. Adhesive bonding is the generally preferred technique when manufacturing FRP structures for a multitude of reasons: adhesive bonding does not require material removal, reducing stress concentrations and stress cracking introduced by drilling; galvanic corrosion is minimized, which can be responsible for significant maintenance costs; and the weight penalty of mechanical fasteners is avoided. Despite these benefits, adhesive joining is often avoided due to quality control concerns and the need for special fixtures and surface treatments.In order to solve these problems, a new process has been developed for joining composite members utilizing additive manufacturing and a dual-curing resin system. The resin is first 3D printed using a UV process; resulting in a semi-rigid, but only partially cured part. This part still has chemical potential and bonding availability when it is integrated with pre-impregnated fiber reinforcement. The assembly is then heated to activate a second curing reaction that co-cures the two materials, resulting in a permanent, void-free bond. Due to the co-curing nature of this new joining process, there is no longer a need for surface treatments or additional fixtures. Furthermore, these adhesive parts can utilize the design freedom of 3D printing by including intricate internal structures or customized features to improve assembly. The combination of 3D printed joining elements and FRP enables a new family of hybrid, high-performance composite structures.
