Methods and systems for reinforcing additively manufactured structures and fiber-reinforced additively manufactured structures

A system for reinforcing an additively manufactured structure, the system comprising:

• a fabrication tool set comprising:
• a first fabrication tool configured to add one or more reinforcement fibers to a carrier substrate to form a textile substrate, the one or more reinforcement fibers distributed about the textile substrate;
• and
• a second fabrication tool, and
• wherein the textile substrate is configured for draping over at least a portion of a surface of the additively manufactured structure, and
• wherein the second fabrication tool is configured to apply a resin to the textile substrate on the surface of the additively manufactured structure to form a resin-based composite bonded to the surface.

A fiber-reinforced additively manufactured structure, comprising:

• an additively manufactured structure comprising a surface;
• and
• at least one resin-based composite bonded to at least a portion of the surface, the at least one resin-based composite comprising;
• a textile substrate comprising one or more reinforcement fibers added to a carrier substrate;
• and
• a resin applied to the textile substrate on the surface of the additively manufactured structure to form the at least one resin-based composite.
