Large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM) is a branch of additive manufacturing (AM) research with the ability to create large structures typically measuring several meters in scale. LFAM is advantageous for tooling applications, not only because it offers the ability to create complex geometries not easily made using subtractive manufacturing processes, but the cost savings of pelletized feedstock used by these systems result in larger parts printed at faster speeds than traditional AM systems. Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) is a commonly used feedstock material in LFAM structures because it reduces the distortion experienced during printing. However, FRP introduces highly anisotropic thermomechanical properties and contributes to a nonhomogeneous microstructure that can result in critical distortion of dimensions during tooling. Measuring the global thermomechanical response of LFAM structures requires a more representative method that accounts for not only anisotropic properties but also the nonhomogeneous nature of the final part. This is where traditional techniques to measure thermomechanical response, such as thermomechanical analysis (TMA), fall short as they assume homogeneity. This study evaluated the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of LFAM structures as measured by TMA as compared to a novel digital image correlation oven (DIC Oven) system. The LFAM structures were made from 20 % by weight carbon fiber reinforced acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (CF-ABS). TMA measurements showed significant variations in CTE across a single LFAM bead, confirming the need for a global technique that captures overall thermomechanical response. The CTE values measured using the DIC Oven compared well to average TMA values obtained from localized measurements across the sample. The DIC Oven was also used to quantify the effects of different layer orientations on thermomechanical properties, which cannot be easily captured using TMA. A predictive model was also developed by using localized TMA values across an LFAM bead to predict the overall thermomechanical response of an LFAM structure.
