Additive Manufacturing of Polymer Composites: Materials, Processes, and Properties presents the latest developments in AM of polymer matrix composites and illustrates the large range of composite materials that can be obtained. Different technologies with their own specificities such as: fused filament fabrication, selective laser sintering, stereolithography, and direct-ink-writing. Composites with chopped or continuous reinforcement, with synthetic or natural fibers, with thermoplastic or thermoset resin are compared and described in detail. Their thermal, physical, electrical, and mechanical properties are discussed. The book is dedicated to professionals involved in engineering design and production, as well as industrial communities who want to gain in-depth knowledge in the field of 3D printed composites.

Provides an overview of different methods for additive manufacturing of polymer-based matrix composites
Covers long and short fiber-based composites and corresponding application examples
Addresses the development and properties of a wide range of matrices (thermoplastics, thermosets), and fibers (natural and synthetic) in a user-specified orientation, continuous or random organization and hierarchical structures
Presents sustainability and structural reliability of composite structures
Displays a careful balance between materials science and technology, providing a detailed understanding of how composites' properties, processing, performance, and structure are interrelated
