  By Karthikeyan R, Pradeep V P, Rajkumar S, Karthikeyan A G, Gobinath K

  Abstract: This research investigates the mechanical characterization of CF-PLA (Carbon Fiber-reinforced Polylactic Acid) composite material produced using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology. The study investigates the impact of different machine parameters, like nozzle temperature, nozzle diameter, and layer height, on the tensile property and hardness of CF-PLA specimens. A total of 27 samples were produced, each with different combinations of nozzle temperature (190°C, 200°C, and 210°C), nozzle diameter (0.4mm, 0.5mm, and …
