High flexible sandwich panel made of glass fibre reinforced nylon with super elastic rubber core using fused filament fabrication (FFF)

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a hyper-elastic three-dimensional (3D) sandwich panel is disclosed, the method comprising printing a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers comprising a central composite core and upper and lower sandwich face layers; and regulating a temperature of each printed layer to match melting point temperature of a consecutive layer being subsequently printed on top of a previously printed layer, wherein the plurality of layers are printed one layer at a time. The multi-layered and multi-material hyper-elastic three-dimensional (3D) sandwich panel is a central composite rubber core stacked between upper and lower sandwich face layers made of reinforced glass-fiber, wherein the central composite rubber core further comprises a core lower face layer, a central core layer and a core upper face layer.
