3D Printing Continuous Fiber Reinforced Polymers: A Review of Material Selection, Process, and Mechanics-Function Integration for Targeted Applications.
Review in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In recent years, the rapid development of three-dimensional (3D)-printed continuous fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) technology has provided novel strategies for customized manufacturing of high-performance composites. This review systematically summarizes research advancements in material systems, processing methods, mechanical performance regulation, and functional applications of this technology. Material-wise, the analysis focuses on the performance characteristics and application scenarios of carbon fibers, glass fibers, and natural fibers, alongside discussions on the processing behaviors of thermoplastic matrices such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK). At the process level, the advantages and limitations of fused deposition modeling (FDM) and photopolymerization techniques are compared, with emphasis on their impact on fiber-matrix interfaces. The review further examines the regulatory mechanisms of fiber orientation, volume fraction, and other parameters on mechanical properties, as well as implementation pathways for functional designs, such as electrical conductivity and self-sensing capabilities. Application case studies in aerospace lightweight structures and automotive energy-absorbing components are comprehensively analyzed. Current challenges are highlighted, and future directions proposed, including artificial intelligence (AI)-driven process optimization and multi-material hybrid manufacturing. This review aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the current achievements in 3D printing CFRP technology and a forward-looking analysis of existing challenges, offering a systematic reference for accelerating the transformation of 3D printing CFRP technology from laboratory research to industrial-scale implementation.
