  • SELECTIVE COMPOSITE MANUFACTURING FOR COMPONENTS HAVING MULTIPLE MATERIAL PROPERTIES
    Publication number: 20170259505
    Abstract: A method of forming a component having multiple material properties includes forming, by additive manufacturing, a particle containment structure on a base layer; filling the particle containment structure with a first layer of particles, the layer of particles being contained by the particle containment structure; curing the first layer of particles; repeating the forming the particle containment structure, filling the particle containment structure with one or more additional layers of particles and curing the one or more additional layers of particles until a desired component dimension is achieved; forming, by additive manufacturing, a cover to encapsulate any exposed particles; and fully curing the particle containment structure, particles and cover.
    Type: Application
