Methods for preparation of three-dimensional bodies
First Claim
1. A process for fabricating a green fibrous monolith composite article comprising:
- providing a first formable powder composition, the powder selected from the group consisting of ceramic powder, metallic powder, ceramic-metallic powder, diamond powder, graphite powder and combinations thereof;
providing a second formable powder composition, the powder selected from the group consisting of ceramic powder, metallic powder, ceramic-metallic powder, diamond powder, graphite powder and combinations thereof;
forming a feed rod from the first and second powder compositions;
compressing the feed rod into a green filament; and
depositing the filament in a controlled manner onto an associated surface in a directed orientation to form a green fibrous monolith composite article.

Abstract
Processes for mechanically fabricating two and three-dimensional fibrous monolith composites include preparing a fibrous monolith filament from a core composition of a first powder material and a boundary material of a second powder material. The filament includes a first portion of the core composition surrounded by a second portion of the boundary composition. One or more filaments are extruded through a mechanically-controlled deposition nozzle onto a working surface to create a fibrous monolith composite object. The objects may be formed directly from computer models and have complex geometries.
