Additively Manufactured Continuous Fiber C/C and Ceramic Matrix Composite (C/SiC, SiC/SiC) Preforms for Hypersonic Applications

TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY

Creation of hypersonic CMC composite preforms utilizing automated robotic additive manufacturing platform and continuous fiber reinforcement. During printing, the fibers are wetted, steered, and cured into novel geometries at near net shape, the preform composite is then ready for downstream densification processing.
