Description
Mantis Composites supplies weight saving components for high performance systems. We have designed a manufacturing pipeline for carbon fiber 3D printed polymer matrix composites (PMC) parts with full process control. The primary objective of this Phase II SBIR is to address new markets by converting our PMC components to ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), resulting in a rapid manufacturing method for intricate continuous fiber Carbon-Carbon (C-C) and Carbon-Silicon Carbide (C-SiC) components. This method will enable production of novel geometries in less time than existing methods, with comparable char yields to existing C-C production techniques.
