This project explores the design and manufacturing of Variable Angle Tow composites using Additive Manufacturing and Automated Fibre Placement. It aims to enhance material properties by optimizing the placement of fibres, addressing challenges in production and structural integrity.
Additive manufacturing and Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) processes brought to the emergence of a new class of fibre-reinforced materials; namely, the Variable Angle Tow (VAT) composites. AFP machines allow the fibres to be relaxed along curvilinear paths within the lamina, thus implying a point-wise variation of the material properties.
In theory, the designer can conceive VAT structures with unexplored capabilities and tailor materials with optimized stiffness-to-weight ratios.
In practise, s…
