A system to aid in design for manufacturing an object includes a processor and a memory configured to store instructions. The processor is configured to receive first data representing a design of the object to be manufactured and second data representing a machine-learning model. The processor is configured to execute the instructions to generate third data using the first data and the second data. The third data indicates at least one of a modification to the design of the object or process conditions for production of the object. The processor is configured to send the design of the object, the process conditions, or both, to a manufacturing tool to enable production of the object. The machine-learning model is representative of production data and based at least partially on one or more of: object features, process parameters, environmental factors, and quality data.

Object design using machine-learning model

Aspects of the present disclosure generally describe polyarylether ketones and methods of use. In some aspects, a composition includes one or more polymers of formula (IV): 

Polyarylether ketone imide adhesives

A fiber reinforced polymer part is fabricated by rastering a deposition head over a substrate, and additively forming part features by extruding a polymer having an entrained continuous reinforcement from the deposition head onto a substrate.

Extruded deposition of fiber reinforced polymers

Aspects of the present disclosure generally describe polyarylether ketones and methods of use. In some aspects, a composition includes one or more polymers of formulae (I), (II), or (III): 

Polyarylether ketone imide sulfone adhesives

A composite part is fabricated by rastering a deposition head over a substrate, and additively forming part features by extruding a polymer having an entrained continuous nanotube reinforcement from the deposition head onto a substrate.

Extruded deposition of polymers having continuous carbon nanotube reinforcements

Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for compression molding of composite material quasi-isotropic flakes. According to some embodiments disclosed herein, a first layer formed from a composite component material and a second layer formed from a composite component material are consolidated together to form a quasi-isotropic panel. Composite material flakes having quasi-isotropic properties ('quasi-flakes') are obtained from the quasi-isotropic panel. A compression mold is filled with the quasi-flakes, and heat is applied to the compression mold to form a part.
