Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of composite materials that can be used in additive manufacturing or in winding applications.
  • the invention relates to composite materials used for the manufacturing of parts and structures, such as lightweight structures used in automotive, aircraft or space industry.
  • Composite filaments that are made from a thread or a roving of fibers, especially carbon fibers, are known from prior art under the name of continuous fiber reinforced filaments or prepregs.
  • composite filaments are commonly used to form 3D-printed parts by additive manufacturing processes wherein the part is formed from successive layers created by melting the filament.
  • composite filaments can also have the form of a tape especially when used in a winding process, also called weaving process.
  • a winding process a composite structure is formed by winding the tape using a robotized machine.
  • thermosetting binder based on a thermoset resin is commonly used to impregnate the thread of carbon fibers.
  • thermoset resin presents considerable material formability limitations, especially when heated, inducing cracks during the printing operation (or insufficient flexibility).
  • the impregnating binder of the composite filament needs to be fully cured before the filament being usable in an additive manufacturing process.
  • an oven configured to heat the thermoset resin to temperatures rising up to 400°C.
  • the slow curing process results in a slow filament production rate, typically having a speed ranging from 0,3 m/min to 1 m/min.
  • technical analysis has been carried out which supports that this method of curing a thermoset resin induces high number of voids and a random filament section.
  • thermoset resin-based binder for impregnating the composite filament, is the limited physicochemical compatibility between the filament and other thermoplastic materials used in a later stage of the forming process, i.e. 3D printing or overmolding.
  • This insufficient compatibility results in a poor filament morphological quality during the additive manufacturing process and the 3D-printed part using that filament usually demonstrates mechanical properties which may not be seen as sufficient for every application.
  • thermoset based continuous fiber filament a weak adhesion between the thermoset based continuous fiber filament and the thermoplastic polymer is observed during the 3D printing process.
  • a relative motion (sliding) of the filament with respect to the resin can even be observed. This may impact the mechanical resistance of the final product and/or its longevity.
  • Publication document WO 2017/188861 A1 discloses an example of such known techniques.
  • a prepreg which is considered as a commodity polymer is produced with the impregnation of fibers using a full bath of liquid thermoset resin coupled with curing using an oven.
  • the production rate of the composite filament depends on curing time, which constitutes an intrinsic technological limit of productivity.
  • the filament disclosed in the document WO 2017/188861 A1 also presents limits of material formability and a limited production rate due to the curing time of the epoxy matrix. In fact, the filament is generated at a speed of around 1 m/min which leaves some margin for improvement. In addition, the question of multi-material assembly during the additive manufacturing process is not solved.

L'invention concerne un filament (36) pour une application de fabrication additive ou une application d'enroulement, le filament comprenant des fibres de carbone (38) incorporées dans une résine thermoplastique réactive (40) comprenant un polymère (méth)acrylique, un monomère (méth)acrylique et des peroxydes organiques, ledit filament comprenant en outre une couche de liaison (44) revêtant la résine thermoplastique réactive, la couche de liaison étant constituée d'un mélange : d'au moins un polyamide et d'un polymère (méth)acrylique. L'invention concerne également une utilisation du filament pour la fabrication d'un produit final par un procédé de fabrication additive ou par une technique d'enroulement. L'invention concerne également un procédé de fabrication d'un tel filament. L'invention permet une production à grande vitesse (10 mètres par minute) d'un filament de haute qualité.
