Abstract
A hybrid additive manufacturing and thermoforming method is provided. The method includes additively manufacturing one or more reinforcing structures directly onto a polymer sheet before shaping the polymer sheet onto a mold and/or while the polymer sheet is shaped onto a mold. By leveraging the design control of additive manufacturing, reinforcing structures can be deposited onto the polymer sheet as needed based on the intended application. These reinforcing structures can comprise standard infill patterns or complex custom core designs. The present invention provides an innovative way in which to mass produce custom thermoformed components with an optimal mechanical response.
