摘要: A thermoplastic pipe and a method for producing it are described. The thermoplastic pipe includes a hollow inner liner layer, a semi-consolidated core comprising commingled fibers, and a shrink wrap outer layer. The commingled fibers comprise at least one thermoplastic fiber and at least one reinforcing fiber. The semi-consolidated core layer comprises a thermoplastic polymer matrix that is organized along the at least one reinforcing fiber. The method includes winding commingled fibers over the hollow inner liner layer at a designated angle to produce a core layer, covering the core layer in a heat shrinkable wrap, and heating to produce a semi-consolidated core layer. The semi-consolidated core layer comprises a thermoplastic polymer matrix that is organized along the at least one reinforcing fiber.

摘要: A filament winding assembly includes a rotating mandrel coupled to a shaft that rotates the rotating mandrel. The rotating mandrel includes a first perforated sleeve that defines holes and includes a winding surface. The rotating mandrel also includes a second perforated sleeve disposed inside the first perforated sleeve. The second perforated sleeve defines an interior volume and holes configured to form fluid pathways with the holes of the first perforated sleeve. The fluid pathways extend from the interior volume to the winding surface of the first perforated sleeve. The filament winding assembly includes a filament that is wound, under tension, around the winding surface of the first perforated sleeve. The filament winding assembly also includes a fluid source fluidically coupled to the interior volume of the second perforated sleeve. The fluid source exhausts fluid, through the fluid pathways, from the wound filament to reduce manufacturing defects of the wound filament.

摘要: A method of manufacturing thermoplastic components includes receiving, by a movable die with an internal grooved surface that has a plurality of longitudinal grooves, spread dry fiber tows. The method also includes receiving, by the movable die and from a polymer extruder, molten polymer. The method also includes wetting, by the movable die, the spread fiber tows with the molten polymer. The method also includes moving, by the movable die, the wet fiber tows along the plurality of longitudinal grooves in a direction parallel to a length of the longitudinal grooves. The method also includes depositing, by the movable die, a layer of the wet fiber tows on a printing surface. The movable die moves along the printing surface to form a thermoplastic component of one or more layers of fiber tows on the printing surface.

摘要: A method of manufacturing continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic components includes receiving, by a movable die, spread dry fiber tows. The method also includes receiving, by the movable die and from a polymer extruder fluidically coupled to the movable die, molten polymer. The method also include wetting, by the movable die, the spread fiber tows with the molten polymer. The method also includes maintaining, by the movable die, the wet fiber tows spread as the wet fiber tows exit the die. The method also includes depositing, by the movable die, a layer of the wet fiber tows on a printing surface. The movable die is configured to move along the printing surface to form a thermoplastic component of one or more layers of fiber tows on the printing surface.
