        abstract = {This project focuses on developing an innovative pultrusion-based system for producing high performance filament tailored for additive manufacturing applications. Pultrusion, a continuous production technique widely used in composite manufacturing, provides advantages such as enhanced material strength, precise diameter control, and efficient production of long, consistent profiles. Adapting this technology to filament manufacturing promises improvements in quality, consistency, and efficiency over traditional extrusion methods. The main objective is to design a pultrusion system capable of processing arrange of filament materials, including recycled plastics like PET and advanced composites such as carbon fiber reinforced polymers. Key areas of development will include specialized dies for controlled material flow optimized cooling systems to ensure dimensional accuracy and smooth surface finish, and integrated quality control measures. These quality controls will allow real-time monitoring of essential properties like tensile strength, flexibility, and dimensional stability, ensuring the reliability of the filament in additive manufacturing. The expected outcomes include a high-quality filament that demonstrates enhanced material properties and consistency, supporting complex applications across sectors like aerospace, automotive, and healthcare. By incorporating sustainable practices through the use of recycled materials, this pultrusion-based system new standards in filament production, providing a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for the rapidly growing field of additive manufacturing.},
