Abstract

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) stands as an advanced rapid prototyping technique, widely appreciated for its efficiency in constructing functional components within a reasonable timeframe. In this experimental exploration, a comparative analysis of mechanical properties was conducted on components manufactured through the FDM technique, specifically with a 20% concentration of SCF-PLA. The study considered process variables like layer thickness, infill pattern, and infill density. Employing diverse process parameters, a standard sample was printed, followed by multiple assessments for parameters such as roughness, tensile strength, fatigue, and more. The goal is to understand how changes in process parameters impact the mechanical properties of the manufactured components.

Keywords: Carbon fiber, Poly lactic acid, Fused deposition modelling, Layer thickness, Infill pattern, Infill density, Tensile, fatigue.
