dc.description.abstractFilament winding method is the most commonly used method to produce profiles with different cross sections as composite product manufacturing. In this method, fiber material is wound with resin at different angles on a mold that has a suitable cross section shape. As a winding strategy, angled and helical winding can be done. Motion planning for this process is done with geodesic and nongeodesic theories. Requirement to use mold in the filament winding method increases the cost. Also, there is an obligation to helical windings. In winding of different layers, 90 degrees angle cannot be given between the layers. To overcome all these constraints, UV curing can be achieved using photopolymer resin and continuous fiber glass fiber with the help of robotic additive manufacturing technology. Toolpath strategies for production has a key role in this work. As a tool path strategy, nonplanar slicing can be done and manufactured composite elbow in angular layers without mold. Then, under favour of 6-axis mobility of the industrial robot arm, layers can be obtained at exactly 90 degrees angle. In addition, in this method, unlike other winding methods, internal voids, i.e. a filling rate, can be given within the cylindrical encircled layers. In order to verify whether the elbows produced with this method meet the requirements of the desired applications in the industry in terms of mechanical properties, at different filling rates (50%, 75%, 100%), winding turns (0 and 1/8), and different fiber densities (45%, 55% and 65%) 90 degrees curved composite elbows were produced and their internal pressure strength tests were tested. Afterwards, an optimization study was carried out with the Taguchi method for the production parameters that will maximize the internal pressure strength. According to the results of the optimization study, it is seen that it is appropriate to choose the printing parameters that will obtain the highest internal pressure strength values for production with this method, 100% fill rate, 65% fiber density and 0 degrees winding angle. The products made of this process have the advantage of easy-shaping, reasonable ratio of axial strength and encircled strength, specification easy-unifying, stable product quality.en_US
