Novel Technique Based on Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) and Robocasting to Create Composite Medical Parts.

The purpose for this study is to obtain a new composite manufacturing system based on Additive Manufacturing techniques that allows the creation of parts for the medical industry. These pieces will be resistant, lightweight and may have geometries more complex than those created with traditional systems of composite material. The new system is based on the union of two heads on a 3D Rep-Rap printer.
