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.
