Title
AFRL researchers push limits in high-temperature, polymer additive manufacturing
Researchers at the Air Force Research Laboratory have demonstrated the ability to additively manufacture high temperature polymer composites for use in extreme environments. The material, made with carbon fiber infused polymer resin and selective laser sintering, has potential use in engine components and on the leading and tail edges of fighter jets in the future.
