Fast-rate joining of thermoplastic composites using integrated additive manufacturing and compression molding process

The integration of additive manufacturing (AM) technology with compression molding (CM), has emerged as a high-performance composite manufacturing technology in recent years. In the AM-CM process, quickly deposited AM preform on a mold undergoes a rapid compaction cycle to fabricate structurally robust composite parts due to highly controlled fiber alignment (from AM) and reduced porosity […]

Dynamic mechanical analysis of continuous metal wire-reinforced recycled thermoplastic composite fabricated 3D printing technique

This study used shredded ABS waste (RABS) and continuous brass wire (CBW) to create 3D-printed composites via the FDM and in-nozzle impregnation technique. The composites’ properties were analyzed through dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). X-ray diffractometry (XRD) revealed the amorphous nature of the materials, with VABS exhibiting key peaks at 13.6⁰ and 20.2⁰. DMA results demonstrated […]

Airbus confirme un report de son avion à hydrogène mais ne l’arrête en aucun cas

Les détracteurs de l’hydrogène se sont réjoui trop tôt. En marge de la présentation de ses résultats financiers, le 20 février, le PDG d’Airbus est revenu sur la feuille de route en matière de décarbonation. Une première fois, Guillaume Faury a abordé la question de l’hydrogène. Il a dit : « oui, nous reportons notre avion […]
