3D Printing-Smart Manufacturing of Polymer Matrix Composites: A state of art Review

Abstract 3D printing (3DP) is a cutting-edge manufacturing technique that creates bespoke good utilizing a digital model and layer-by-layer feedstock deposition. Because of their superior mechanical, structural, chemical, and physical properties, reinforced materials, or composites, particularly polymers, are becoming more and more significant materials for a variety of scientific applications and engineering. The primary recognition for the widespread use of polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is undoubtedly due to the many forms of natural and synthetic reinforcements that produced favorable interfacial chemistries, However, employing typical manufacturing procedures to develop PMCs for a particular application has certain limitations. To get around these limitations to high-value production and customized manufacturing with a broad range of designs, processing setting, and reinforcements while minimizing waste. However, the lack of understanding among young professionals and industrialist limits the benefits of 3DP technology in the sector. The material that is provided in this piece, however, is boring because it only covers fundamental ideas for professionals. Thus, the primary goal of this review paper is to provide a concise and accurate overview of the various 3DP technology (material extrusion, power bed fusion, material jetting, binder jetting, vat photo polymerization, direct energy deposition, and laminated object manufacturing), their application, material systems.
