Abstract (English)	Discontinuous long fiber compression molded composites have proven their value for complex shaped parts, but the chopped carbon fibers offer low tensile strength. By adding 3D printed continuous fiber tape along the highest stress direction, much higher strength is expected, opening new markets.
