Methods of reducing warping of a printed part are disclosed. The method includes depositing a raft comprising a first printable material onto a build platen of a three-dimensional printer. The method includes depositing a support material comprising a second printable material onto the raft. The method further includes depositing an anchor comprising one or more anchor shells of the first printable material onto the raft. The anchor is deposited within the support material. The method further includes printing a part made from the first material above the support material. The securing the part to the anchor by depositing one or more skirt shells comprising the first printable material about the periphery of the part and onto the anchor. The anchor has substantially the same shape as the part.

The present invention aims at providing a prepreg for producing a laminate suitable as a structural material, and a laminate, which have excellent tensile shear joining strength, fatigue joining strength, and interlaminar fractural toughness values, and can be firmly integrated with another structural member by welding.

According to one aspect, embodiments herein provide a method of reducing distortion in an additively manufactured part comprising forming a shrinking platform from a composite including metal particles embedded in a first matrix, forming shrinking supports from the composite, forming a part from the composite upon the shrinking platform and shrinking supports, forming an interior structure in at least one of the shrinking platform, the shrinking supports, and the part having a plurality of chambers with interconnections therebetween, forming from the shrinking platform, the sintering supports, and the part a portable assembly, and debinding the first matrix in the portable assembly to form a portable assembly in a brown state, wherein debinding the first matrix includes penetrating a fluid debinder into the interior structure of the at least one of the shrinking platform, the shrinking supports, and the part to debind the first matrix from within the interior structure.

The invention relates to a method for producing a composite plastic part (CK). A first fiber material (F1) is impregnated with a polyamide matrix polymer (PAM), thereby obtaining a matrix composition (MZ), onto which a surface composition (OZ) is applied, and a first plastic component (K1) is obtained. In a second step, a second plastic component (K2) is molded on the first plastic component (K1), whereby the composite plastic part (CK) is obtained. The invention further relates to the composite plastic part (CK) which can be obtained using the method according to the invention. The invention additionally relates to the use of polyethyleneimine (PEI) for improving the impregnation of the first fiber material (F1) with the polyamide matrix polymer (PAM).
