Extrusion Freeform Fabrication of Chopped-Fibre Reinforced Composites

TL;DR: In this article, two types of epoxy resin have been formed into test bars containing varying fractions of chopped carbon fibre of various lengths, and it is shown that the fibre orientation follows the writing direction and has a large influence on the directional elastic properties of the composite.
