The article presents the technology and process, whereby a small-scale demonstration model and the real-scale prototype of vertical axis wind turbine blades are produced using rapid prototyping technology (3DP) and GFRP surface coatings, which help to improve the mechanical properties. In the end of the article the results of the production process and the advantages of combining these technologies are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
