This paper contains an overview of world trends in the development of the TFP technologyenabling 3D printing of carbon fiber reinforced plastics. The review of the equipment used for the automated preformpatching is included. Primary factors restraining the large-scale implementation of the TFP technology in the manufacture are identified, and prospective research trends for further development of the technology are proposed.
