  By Mit C. Patel, Kapil Banker, Anandkumar K. Patel, Krunalkumar P. Modi, Kapil Surani, Dhaval Patel

  Abstract: The use of bio-based polymer composites in additive manufacturing is becoming more and more attractive, but their mechanical properties are very sensitive to the loading of reinforcement, the orientation of the raster and defects of the printing process. In this study, the mechanical properties of PLA–bagasse composites produced by material extrusion were studied, focusing on the influence of the reinforcement fraction and the deposition structure. The composites were tested with …
