Additive Manufacturing of Composite materials 2021

Additive manufacturing of organic matrix composites, whether through automated fiber placement (AFP), 3D printing (FFF) or 4D printing, represents a tremendous opportunity to re-invent materials and structures. Add Fab Comp i.e. Additive Fabrication of composites is an international symposium whose purpose is to gather the latest research on the exiting topics including (but not limited) :  Design methods (topological optimization, material by design, biomimicry, etc.)  New materials and new functionalities (biocomposites, smart materials, etc.)  Process development, process modeling (thermo-mechanical coupling, etc.),  Induced singularities and defects,  Characterization and induced properties (static, fatigue, aging, etc.)  4D printing  Industrialization and applications
