Abstract

A 3D printing method for manufacturing a 3D tubular object includes creating successive layers of polymerized resin. Each layer is created by providing, on an external surface of a build platform, a fluid resin which is polymerizable by electromagnetic radiation. A beam of electromagnetic radiation suitable for polymerizing the fluid resin is positioned, according to a printing model, towards the external surface of the build platform, creating the layer of polymerized resin. The build platform includes a stem having a longitudinal axis, and forming a tubular shaped surface around the longitudinal axis, so that the external surface of the build platform is included in the tubular shaped surface. The beam is variably positioned according to the printing model to impinge on different points of the fluid resin. The 3D tubular object is obtained by removing from the stem a 3D object formed by the successive layers of polymerized resin.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a part made from composite material, having a body (600) and one or more continuous fibre bundles (208) in its interior, characterised in that it comprises the stages of: a) obtaining a body (600) that includes one or more tubular cavities (604) in its interior that extend between a first end, disposed on the outer surface of the body and which comprises an inlet orifice, and a second end, opposite to the first end; b) introducing resin (301) in the liquid state and a continuous fibre bundle in the interior of at least one tubular cavity through its inlet orifice; and c) curing the resin until it solidifies, adhering to the body and fixing the continuous fibre bundle. The invention also relates to a system for manufacturing a part made from composite material and to the part made from composite material obtained.
