Title: The Development of High Temperature Thermoplastic Composite Materials for Additive Manufactured Autoclave Tooling

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1410928· OSTI ID:1410928

In this work, ORNL and Techmer investigated and screened different high temperature thermoplastic reinforced materials to fabricate composite molds for autoclave processes using Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques. This project directly led to the development and commercial release of two printable, high temperature composite materials available through Techmer PM. These new materials are targeted for high temperature tooling made via large scale additive manufacturing.
