The emission of gases and fuel efficiency of vehicles are two important issues in these days. The best way to increase the fuel efficiency is to reduce the weight of vehicle parts. Without sacrificing safety, we have to employ composite materials in the bumper. Polymer composite materials have been a part of the automotive industry for several decades but the economic and technical barriers have constraint their use. In this context, a composite sandwich structure is prepared using 3D printed material as a core sandwich structure with the top layering of natural fibre. The composite structure is prepared using vacuum bagging process. The specimens are cut using water jet machine and prepared for several analysis test is conducted on Ansys software to compare the present material and the material to be prepared.
