Abstract
A part includes a continuous fiber substantially encased in a formation material . The fiber and formation material are arranged in a plurality of alternating layers such that the formation material of a first one of the alternating layers adheres to the formation material of a second one of the alternating layers over the length of the continuous fiber . The part may include a thin – walled hollow member such as a duct . In some embodiments a part comprises a continuous fiber prepared by an additive manufacturing process comprising the steps of : depositing a composite material on a print bed using a print head , the composite material comprising a continuous fiber and a formation material in intimate contact with the continuous fiber ; moving the print head and / or the print bed during the depositing of the composite material , and consolidating the composite mate rial .
