The mechanical performance of the 3D printed composites produced with continuous carbon fiber reinforced filaments obtained via melt impregnation

Additive manufacturing of the continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) composites with fused deposition modeling is an up-and-coming production method because of their exceptional mechanical properties, even though these values are still relatively low when compared with conventional thermoset products. In this respect, the additive manufacturing of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites with high mechanical properties...
