Abstract

Rapid prototyping (RP) techniques are used to quickly fabricate prototypes directly from CAD data using 3D printing or additive manufacturing. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is one of the popular techniques of RP used to produce polymer parts, but due to limited mechanical properties of purely printed polymer using FDM there is a need developed to produce composites using FDM. The aim of this review article is to analyze the fiber reinforced composite polymer developed using FDM. This article gives an overview of different concepts used to produce Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) using FDM, their Mechanical Properties as well as challenges in the way of producing fiber reinforced composite using this technique.Keywords: Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), fiber reinforced composite, Rapid Prototyping (RP), Carbon fiber, Glass fiber
