Evaluating the effect of abrasive waterjet machining on 3D printed composites for repair applications

The research project aims to evaluate the potential of using abrasive waterjet machining and additive manufacturing in composite repair as a sustainable, circular economic strategy. The study will investigate the effectiveness of abrasive waterjet machining on additively manufactured composite specimens, assess the quality of machined surfaces, and simulate composite repair scenarios in a laboratory setting. The goal is to determine if this non-conventional technique can enable more sustainable and circular economic practices in composite repair when coupled with additive manufacturing.
