Improvements of Mechanical Properties by Reinforcements

  • Chapter
Laser-Induced Materials and Processes for Rapid Prototyping

Abstract

Since the wider adoption of LL process in industry, much research has been carried out to develop prototypes with higher strength and accuracy [1–4]. The nature and origin of distortion in the LL-built part has been well studied and documented [5–8]. Recent R&D efforts in rapid prototyping have focused on the development of techniques for the fabrication of functional and semifunctional parts based on metal composites utilizing direct laser sintering techniques [9] or through metal infiltration processes [10,11] on the fabricated rapid prototype. The purpose of most reinforcements, such as glass fiber and ceramic power, is to increase the tensile strength and hardness. Work has also been carried out to improve the strength of LL parts by embedding continuous fiber tows into the fabricated part [12].
