Abstract
Equipment and a method for the three-dimensional printing of continuous fiber composite materials are described, and the equipment comprises:—a supplying head () to supply at least one filiform element of continuous fiber () comprising at least one fiber;—a movement assembly for the relative movement between the supplying head () and the three-dimensional object () so as to exert traction of the continuous filiform element ();—a coupling unit to couple a quantity of material powder onto said filiform element (); said coupling unit () being configured to deposit a determined quantity of powder on the continuous filiform element so as to form a prepreg filiform element (');—an energy source () configured to induce a phase change to the prepreg filiform element (′) from the solid state to the liquid state; said energy source () being positioned downstream of said coupling unit ().
