This manufacturing method uses multifunctional materials distributed volumetrically to generate a stiffness-based architecture, where continuous surfaces can be created from flat, rapidly produced geometries.
Through utilizing a two function splice we can increase the splice strength for opposing tows.

This invention introduces a continuous composite forming process that produces large parts with variable cross-sections and shapes, exceeding the size of the forming machine itself.
Through the use of splicing methods, joining two different fiber types in the tow stage of the process enables great benefits to the strength of the material change.
ORNL has developed a new hybrid additive manufacturing technique to create complex three-dimensional shapes like air foils and wind generator blades much more quickly.
