“…The common applications of FRP composites are continuously diversifying due to their attractive material properties (see . Following these causes (limitations of conventional materials and attractive properties of advanced composites), the applications of the FRP can be grouped as follows [175][176][177][178][179][180][181][182][183][184][185]: Space: satellites, space centers, launch vehicles, spaceports, remote manipulator arm, payload bay doors, antenna struts and ribs, high-gain antenna, etc. Aircraft: floorings and panels of airplanes, drive shafts, elevators, rudders, landing gear doors, bearings, etc.…”

Over the last few years, there has been a growing interest in the study of lightweight composite materials. Due to their tailorable properties and unique characteristics (high strength, flexibility and stiffness), glass (GFs) and carbon (CFs) fibers are widely used in the production of advanced polymer matrix composites. Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) and Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites have been developed by different fabrication methods and are extensively used for diverse engineering applications. A considerable amount of research papers have been published on GFRP and CFRP composites, but most of them focused on particular aspects. Therefore, in this review paper, a detailed classification of the existing types of GFs and CFs, highlighting their basic properties, is presented. Further, the oldest to the newest manufacturing techniques of GFRP and CFRP composites have been collected and described in detail. Furthermore, advantages, limitations and future trends of manufacturing methodologies are emphasized. The main properties (mechanical, vibrational, environmental, tribological and thermal) of GFRP and CFRP composites were summarized and documented with results from the literature. Finally, applications and future research directions of FRP composites are addressed. The database presented herein enables a comprehensive understanding of the GFRP and CFRP composites’ behavior and it can serve as a basis for developing models for predicting their behavior.

“…FHs are usually manufactured via multi-material moulding [7], micro electro discharge machining [8], waterjet cutting, wire erosion, micro-milling [9], compressive plastic deformation [10], and additive manufacturing (AM) [11][12][13][14][15]. Among these, specifically when dealing with resins and plastic materials, AM is the most used, feasible, and less expensive method, also called 3D printing technique.…”

This paper presents a new combined fabrication method, named 3D-PLAST, aimed at overcoming inherent limitations of conventional additive manufacturing techniques when producing small flexure hinges in compliant mechanisms. Flexure hinges play a crucial role in various applications, offering advantages such as cost reduction, increased precision, and weight reduction. However, traditional additive manufacturing proves challenging in achieving satisfactory mechanical properties when manufacturing small-size hinges. To overcome these limitations, the 3D-PLAST process combines fused filament fabrication with compressive plastic deformation. This hybrid process exploits the advantages of both techniques, i.e., flexibility, low cost, and ease of use. This process enables the fabrication of small-size mechanisms with good dimensional accuracy. Finally, the paper reports experimental tests on two materials comparing flexure hinges manufactured by 3D-PLAST versus 3D printing methods to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed process.
