Fused Deposition Modelling of Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites: A Parametric Review

Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is a widely used additive layer manufacturing process that deposits thermoplastic material layer-by-layer to produce complex geometries within short time. Increasingly, fibres are being reinforce filaments improve mechanical performance. This paper reviews the available literature on fibre reinforced FDM investigate how mechanical, physical, and thermal properties of 3D-printed composite materials affected by printing parameters (e.g., speed, temperature, building principle, etc.) constitutive properties, i.e., polymeric matrices, reinforcements, additional materials. In particular, reinforcement categorized in this review considering different types carbon, glass, aramid, natural), obtainable architectures divided accordingly length (nano, short, continuous). The attempts distil optimum processing could be deduced from across studies presenting graphically relationship between properties. publication benefits developer who investigating optimize novel or looking for good constituent combination filaments, thus helping reduce wastage experimental
