• Research aim The proposed research will focus on the additive fabrication of fiber-reinforced composites using nonplanar, rotary, and robotic manufacturing approaches.
• This will allow the co-design of material anisotropy and structural geometry, leading to programmable morphing behaviour that extends beyond the capabilities of existing planar systems.
