“…Second, the incorporated fiber can block the light transmission, and the matrix materials may not be cured homogeneously. In our recent work, 24 we showed that the recently emerged two-stage UV-curable resin is an ideal material candidate for addressing these challenges in the field. The two-stage resin was rapidly cured upon UV irradiation (the first-stage polymerization).…”

This perspective article summarizes recent advancements in extrusion-based 3D printing of continuous fiberreinforced polymers (CFRPs). It focuses on manufacturing techniques and computational design methodologies. While fused deposition modeling has been the primary method for printing thermoplastic CFRPs, recent innovations have enabled the printing of thermoset CFRPs using direct ink writing or similar techniques. These printing processes are also integrated with robotic arms to dramatically enhance manufacturing capabilities. Additionally, there has been notable progress in enhancing computational design methodologies to simultaneously optimize fiber distribution and topology of 3D printed CFRPs. The article also discusses future directions aimed at improving mechanical properties, scalability, multifunctionality, and predictability in CFRP 3D printing, which offer valuable perspectives for the development of this transformative manufacturing approach.

Abstract3D printing offers a cost‐effective solution for rapidly prototyping and customizing composite products. The integration of multi‐axis robotic systems with the printing process significantly enhances motion control, design flexibility, and manufacturing scalability. In this study, a robot‐assisted manufacturing platform and the associated digital workflow for the 3D printing of UV‐curable continuous fiber‐reinforced polymer composites (CFRPCs) is introduced. Specifically, a transferable protocol is established for robotic 3D printing of CFRPCs, which involves coordinate calculation, trajectory generation, and validation checks. This protocol enables the printing of composite samples or large‐scale structures on both planar substrates and curved 3D substrates. Additionally, composite printing on substrates with unknown profiles using laser‐based 3D scanning is demonstrated. Overall, the developed printing method and workflow are applicable to a broader range of feedstock materials and robotic manipulators, which makes this study a valuable resource for future developments in 3D‐printed CFRPCs.
