Abstract

The high-stiffness 3D-printed continuous carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite structure was proposed based on concurrent topology and material orientation optimization. The multi-variable topology optimization was performed with the Cartesian representation of orientation. The 3D print path was developed from the optimized result by means of the stripe pattern method. To reduce the number of fiber-cutting processes due to discontinuous paths, a modified travel salesman problem was adopted.
