Investigation on The Effect of Carbon Fiber Reinforcement on The Mechanical and Physical Properties of FDM 3d Printed PLABy Arun Kumar K N, Aruna Mokhamatam, Shivaraj Dharennavar, Meenakshi
Abstract: In this work, the effects of annealing on the physical properties and mechanical behavior of short-carbon-fiber-reinforced polylactic acid (CF/PLA) composites made using fused deposition modeling (FDM) are systematically investigated. Pristine PLA and CF/PLA composites with 10% fibers have been made and evaluated in accordance with ASTM standards. Tensile, bending, and hardness tests were used to evaluate the performance of as-received and annealed composites. The tensile and hardness properties of PLA …
