Abstract This state-of-the-art innovatory overview essentially debates practical worth of three-dimensional printed composites/nanocomposites (especially carbon fiber designs) for aerospace sector. Recently, printing (additive manufacturing) has competently transpired designing high performance space structures. The manuscript systematically frameworks fundamentals approach, ensuing high-tech aeronautical composites/nanocomposite systems, and components/structural applications. Amongst carbonaceous fillers, short/continuous fibers were inspected as outperforming reinforcements aerospace. Additionally, surface modified/composited with nanocarbons (carbon nanotube, graphene) have been reported. Accordingly, polyamide, poly(lactic acid), poly(ether ether ketone), epoxies, etc. documented substantial thermoplastic/thermosetting matrices. Ensuing radical polymer/carbon or fiber/nanocarbon hybrids benefits regarding low-cost manufacturing, structural precision, complex geometries, efficiency, least defects/voids, superior tensile shear strength/modulus, compression strength, interlaminar wear properties, thermo-dimensional constancy, heat stability features, under extreme environments. Consequently, cutting-edge offered myriad promising opportunities mechanically robust (nozzle wearing, strengthened wing spar/ribs, resilient rotating components, strength/dimensional stability) temperature stable (cryogenic fuel storage, lower earth orbital stability, thermal-dimensional steadiness, thermal conductivity) modules. Henceforth, owns enormous engineering potential to meet manufacturing demands by overcoming challenges traditional techniques.

The quest for efficient and sustainable energy storage solutions has prompted exploration into advanced materials that meet stringent mechanical thermal requirements. This study investigates graphene‐reinforced thermoplastic polymers specifically polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), polylactic acid (PLA) fabricated through additive manufacturing techniques. Traditional often suffer from limitations in structural integrity, flexibility, stability, presenting challenges their application storage. research aims to evaluate the properties of these assess suitability components. Using manufacturing, test samples were fabricated, testing was conducted tensile, flexural, compression strengths. results indicate PEEK (G‐PEEK) exhibits superior performance, with an ultimate tensile strength 120 MPa, Young’s modulus 1700 flexural 160 200 making it ideal candidate applications requiring high integrity. Graphene‐reinforced PETG (G‐PETG) offers a balance 55 while PLA (G‐PLA) serves as cost‐effective option, despite lower (ultimate 45 MPa).
