3D Complex Structures through Layer Plastic Deposition Designed for Carbon Material Impregnation

Abstract

The paper aims to demonstrate the capability of LPD – Layer Plastic Deposition 3D printing technique to build complex structures for special purposes such us impregnation with carbon materials. It proposes to push the limits of LPD machines in order to achieve both structural integrity and complexity of the 3D print. Main applicability focus on bioengineering - developing new, lightweight implants and also airspace/automotive industry.
