On pourrait s’attendre à ce que les grandes entreprises, dotées des budgets et des ressources techniques nécessaires, soient les premières à adopter les « nouvelles » technologies telles que la fabrication additive. Selon Andrea Gorlezza, CEO de MadeInAdd, c’est...
Carbon fibers (CFs) are widely used as reinforcing components in composites due to their exceptional properties, such as high tensile strength and thermal stability. Owing to their inert and smooth surfaces, CFs lack polar groups, resulting in weak bonding performance...
Thermoplastic composites have emerged as advanced engineering materials due to their superior recyclability, damage tolerance, and processing versatility compared with conventional thermoset systems. This review provides a comprehensive assessment of recent advances...
The focus of this work was to investigate the mechanical properties of additively manufactured (AM) discontinuous carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (DCFRP) composites. Towards the specimen’s fabrication, the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) additive manufacturing...
Researchers at Texas A&M University have demonstrated optical propulsion using laser-driven “metajets” with full three-dimensional control. Their lab-scale results suggest that light-powered propulsion systems could cut travel time to Alpha Centauri, the closest...
