ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING METHODS AND SYSTEMS WITH FIBER REINFORCEMENT

摘要

Additive manufacturing methods for fabricating a fiber-reinforced composite objects include providing at least a first layer of powder material 210, disposing a fiber material adjacent the at least first layer of powder material to form a fiber reinforcement layer 220, and applying a laser energy 230 to the at least first layer of powder material so as to fuse the powder material into at least a first laser fused material layer adjacent the fiber reinforcement layer of the fiber-reinforced composite object.
