Additive manufacturing and composites: An update
Additive manufacturing has only begun to tap the potential available in the composite industry.

Urban turbine redesign taps benefits of additive fabrication
Michael R. LeGault details efforts to produce an anti-icing system for “small-wind” vertical-axis wind turbine blades.

The rise of rapid manufacturing
An outgrowth of rapid prototyping, tool-free additive fabrication technologies have the potential to form small, limited-run composite parts directly from CAD data.
