| description |
Continuous fiber fused filament fabrication is an advanced 3D printing method that allows designers to produce high-performing lightweight structures, leading toward innovative design philosophies and sustainable production chains. In this work, we proposed a design strategy to manufacture selected components for a solar-powered vehicle, which consists of three stages. Firstly, the prototypes’ CAD models are developed, considering their geometric and manufacturing requirements. Then, a finite element analysis is carried out to ensure optimal fiber reinforcement of prototypes’ critical regions. Lastly, the manufacturing stage involves the slicing process and optimization of the time and cost of the printed part employing Markforged® technology. Adopting the proposed methodology, the experimental campaign investigated the print quality and performance of several prototypes of each component by adjusting printing parameters.
