In particular, Dr. Schoop and I focus on the difference between physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) coatings. PVD is a line-of-sight process allowing for a thinner coating and therefore a sharper edge. CVD produces a thicker coating more effective as a thermal barrier.

Due to its superior mechanical properties (albeit with some drawbacks) and the fact that carbon fiber itself is becoming cheaper, CFRC could be one of the answers to key current environmental and economic issues the construction industry is facing. Indeed, already some forward-thinking architects and companies are using it.

A further benefit that could increase the use of CFRC in building projects is its corrosion and chemical resistance. This would provide significant improvements in terms of durability, decreasing ongoing maintenance costs and extending the useable lifetime of structures.

Carbon fiber has seen growing use in recent years in the construction industry, mostly in the framework of curtain walls, partition panels, and walls. First explored as a potential construction material in the 1970s, it was demonstrated that carbon fiber reinforced concrete (CFRC) had some suitable properties.

Lee Wimmer invited us to tour his second-generation family-owned machine shop in Perkasie, PA. This video explores the production processes behind precision-machined parts for both Wimmer Custom Cycle and LS Wimmer Machine Co., and shows how ingenuity and determination are still at the heart of American manufacturing. Today, both companies are now managed by Wimmer’s three sons.

Recent studies have shown that the benefits of CFRC could potentially outweigh its cost limitations for use in new builds and as a retrofitting and strengthening material. One of the benefits for new structures and repairs which has been highlighted is the lower structural dead load that can be achieved using carbon fibers due to their low density.

As the demand for faster production cycles continues to grow, the ability to produce high-quality parts quickly and efficiently has become increasingly important. High-speed 3D printing has emerged as a key solution to reduce lead times and increase productivity across industries. However, like any advanced technology, it comes with its own set of challenges. In this webinar, Forward AM will explore both the opportunities and hurdles of adopting high-speed printing with a particular focus on overcoming those challenges. It’ll start by discussing the fundamentals of high-speed 3D printing and how it differs from conventional 3D printing methods. It’ll then move on to the key factors that influence successful implementation, including the impact of materials, equipment and design considerations. One of the main hurdles in high-speed 3D printing is ensuring the right balance between speed and part quality. Different materials behave differently under high-speed conditions — and not all equipment is optimized for this process. Forward AM will showcase some validated materials and equipment that are proven to perform well under these conditions. In addition, the presenters will look at real-world examples and applications where high-speed 3D printing has been successfully implemented, highlighting the collaboration between designers, engineers and manufacturers. By the end of this webinar, you'll not only have a clearer understanding of high-speed 3D printing with FFF but also the practical steps and considerations needed to make the most of this cutting-edge technology. Agenda:  Introduction The power of high-speed printing Know the process The practical side

Davey, Reginald. "Why Use Carbon Fiber Reinforced Concrete (CFRC)?". AZoBuild. https://www.azobuild.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=8641. (accessed November 23, 2024).

There are three main types of carbon fiber used in the construction industry: PAN-based, pitch-based, and rayon-based. PAN stands for polyacrylonitrile, a semicrystalline, synthetic organic polymer resin with the formula CH2CHCN.

Not only can Gelsight’s tactile sensor detect and evaluate defects, but it can also measure part features, surface roughness and even contamination.

Currently, the construction industry uses the cheapest fibers, which are isotropic short fibers with poor mechanical properties. However, increasing the use of high-performance carbon fiber should further reduce its cost for the sector.

Job shops are implementing automation and digitalization into workflows to eliminate set up time and increase repeatability in production.

Davey, Reginald. (2024, November 20). Why Use Carbon Fiber Reinforced Concrete (CFRC)?. AZoBuild. Retrieved on November 23, 2024 from https://www.azobuild.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=8641.

Furthermore, carbon fibers have excellent aesthetic characteristics, making them attractive for projects that require a good finished product. However, there are some limitations with carbon fiber which can hinder its use.

The fibers tend to oxidize when heated or under alkaline conditions. Also, fibers possess drawbacks such as axial vs. transverse anisotropy and low strain to failure. The main issue that hinders the use of CFRC is carbon fiber’s poor ductility, which is lower than alternatives such as glass, Kevlar, and SiO2.

Entrepreneur Scott Colosimo found early success in China producing parts for his Cleveland-based motorcycle company in the mid-2000s. This is the story of how IP theft issues overwhelmed the business, prompting Colosimo and his team to start over from scratch — and move production back to the United States.

Further studies confirmed that even a minuscule fraction of carbon fiber significantly improves the mechanical properties of concrete, and carbon fiber outperforms both steel or glass fiber. This is due to superior durability in adverse conditions, thermal resistance, weatherability, and its finish ability.

Coordinate systems tell a CNC machine where to position the cutting tool during the program’s execution for any purpose that requires the cutting tool to move.

CFRC has already seen use in structural column and beam repair, smart concrete structures, and in bridge construction. Whilst still a fairly niche material compared to conventional steel-reinforced concrete, CFRC is slowly becoming more commonplace. Furthermore, its green credentials align with current sustainability goals.

Early studies on CFRC made from PAN fiber significantly improved the impact strength, tensile strength, and elastic modulus of concrete. In 1980, a Japanese study using pitch carbon fiber reported noteworthy improvements using just 0.2% carbon fiber by volume.

One drawback of carbon fiber is its cost, however. This has thus far hindered its large-scale use in structural elements, but researchers have argued that the initial expense is worth it compared to the cost of retrofitting failing structures using conventional steel fiber-reinforced concrete.

At Carnegie Mellon University’s Manufacturing Futures Institute, researchers use a robotic test bed where AMRs deliver Lego bricks to robot arms for assembly to study AI, multirobot collaboration, assembly, safety and more.

Carbon fiber contains over 92 wt% carbon, arranged in parallel crystal structures to the fiber’s long axis. The structure can be either amorphous, partly crystalline, or fully crystalline, depending on the manufacturing process, and can exist as either short or long fibers.

Carbon fibers are classed as high-performance due to their essential characteristics. These include low specific weight, ability to withstand stress during dynamic and quasi-static loading conditions, high thermal conductivity, superior creep resistance, high elastic modulus, non-corrosiveness, and chemical stability.

As mentioned previously, the decreasing cost of carbon fiber has increased the attractiveness of CFRC in the construction industry, piquing the interest of experts. Whereas current applications are largely limited to non-structural elements, this is slowly changing. The use of CFRC is still in its infancy.

Currently, there is a lack of literature on the use of CFRP in construction projects due to its perceived expense, even though its benefits are well-recognized. Furthermore, many studies have concentrated on the use of carbon fibers in mortar composites rather than producing CFRC.

The new space includes a showroom, office spaces and an auditorium that will enhance its work with its technical partners.

These interactions govern the compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, and workability of CFRC. Several studies over the past few decades have explored the optimal carbon fiber percentage in CFRC, with research demonstrating outperformance compared to conventional fiber-reinforced concrete.
