Printing with Continuous Multifunctional Composite Materials

Summary

Researchers at Purdue University have developed a new technology that will utilize Extrusion Deposition Additive Manufacturing and adds to it. They call it "Continuous Multifunctional Composites". This allows for adding of the sensing, heating, or cooling elements that the EDAM was not able to accomplish by itself. This new technology also allows for the printer to process much bigger fiber counts than before. It also improves the mechanical properties that were limited in the EDAM alone. By adding "Continuous Multifunctional Composites" to EDAM, it improves the overall efficiency of the machine.
