Tensile Properties of Additively Manufactured Thermoplastic Composites Reinforced with Chopped Carbon Fibre.

3D printing allows controlled deposition of composite components, which the user defines by the modification of the printing parameters. The article demonstrates that all observed printing parameters (infill type, infill orientation) influence the tensile test results of nylon reinforced with chopped carbon fiber. The highest tensile strength obtains specimens with the maximum number of walls around the circumference.

Impact Toughness of FRTP Composites Produced by 3D Printing.

The additive manufacturing represents a new production method of composites reinforced with a continuous fibre. In recent times, the material produced by this new manufacturing method constituted a replacement for conventional materials-e.g.
