This paper introduces a novel method for producing fibre-reinforced thermoplastic tubes by integrating tape production and consolidation into a single operation. This innovation diverges from conventional methods by combining processes to reduce costs by using raw materials instead of organotapes, allowing customised material combinations and utili...

The present paper takes a novel approach to production of fibre-reinforced thermoplastic tubes. The method begins with the raw materials, reinforcing fibre and thermoplastic granulate which are processed to tapes through a newly developed direct impregnation process. It is followed by consolidation of fibre-reinforced thermoplastic tubes using infr...

The mechanical properties of additively manufactured plastic components, i. e. strength and stiffness, can limit their use as load-bearing structures. In particular, the use of continuous reinforcing fibers can significantly improve the mechanical properties of additively manufactured components and enable the production of load-bearing fiber compo...
