Filament 3D printing technology (FFF) provides some design criteria, to be followed in order not to run into problems during the printing phase. Let's discuss some of the DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) rules in detail.

A composite material is a combination of two or more simple materials, in order to take advantage of the qualities of the constituents and to improve their mechanical characteristics.

Fibers and matrix are combined: the MATRIX acts as a binder and as a support (in compressive stress) and the FIBERS act as a reinforcement (in tensile stress).

TPA Brianza designs and builds special high-tech industrial plants. Their machinery is used in many applications, such as systems and equipment for the construction of turbine stators and rotors, winding lines and assembly equipment for superconductors, digital textile printing and welding plants.
