Abstract:
Components may be manufactured by co-extruding a polymer filament and a fiber filament from a nozzle. The polymer filament and the fiber filament may be heated within the nozzle, which may couple the polymer filament to the fiber filament. The co-extruded filament may result in long reinforcing fibers which provide strength to the components.
