Monotonic load datasets for additively manufactured thermoplastic reinforced composites.

ABSTRACT: In additive manufacturing (AM), thermoplastic components made by fused deposition modeling (FDM) offer low strength and stiffness, as required for fully functional and load-bearing parts. Composite materials are a practical solution to improve mechanical properties [1,2]. A new technology to reinforce thermoplastics with continuous fibers has been developed recently by Markforged [3]. It introduces continuous fiber to reinforce a thermoplastic matrix, thus, taking static mechanical performance close to Aluminum alloys [4]. These printers for continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites (CFRTPC) have taken this technology to a whole new level in terms of mechanical properties and efficient production. Mechanical properties under monotonic load were studied for different kinds of pri
