Characterizing short-fiber-reinforced composites produced using additive manufacturing

Material extrusion additive manufacturing (MEAM), a sub-branch of three-dimensional (3D) printing is growing in popularity. Test specimens were 3D-printed using commercial polylactic acid (PLA) filament, and PLA filament reinforced with short-carbon fibers (PLA/CF). As-printed specimens and specimen...
