Mechanical Characterizations of 3D-printed PLLA/Steel Particle Composites.
TL;DR: The results showed that the interphase layer provided a smooth transition of elastic modulus from steel particles to the polymeric matrix, and a 10% volume fraction of steel particles could enhance the elasticModulus of PLLA polymer by 31%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental characterization and micrography of 3D printed PLA and PLA reinforced with short carbon fibers
TL;DR: In this article, the mechanical properties of materials produced by 3D printing based on fused filament fabrication (FFF, analogous to FDM ® ) are investigated. But the main assumption is that the materials behave like laminates formed by orthotropic layers.

Characterization of mechanical properties and fracture mode of additively manufactured carbon fiber and glass fiber reinforced thermoplastics
Guo Dong Goh,Vishwesh Dikshit,Arun Prasanth Nagalingam,Guo Liang Goh,Shweta Agarwala,Swee Leong Sing,Jun Wei,Wai Yee Yeong +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Fused filament fabrication (FFFDM) is employed to fabricate continuous carbon and glass FRTP composites and its microstructural characteristics and the resulting tensile, flexural, and quasi-static indentation characteristics of the printed composites are examined.
A review on stereolithography and its applications in biomedical engineering
TL;DR: Stereolithography is a solid freeform technique (SFF) that was introduced in the late 1980s as discussed by the authors, which has the highest fabrication accuracy and an increasing number of materials that can be processed is becoming available.
