EFFECT OF CARBON FIBER ADDITIVE ON TENSILE PROPERTIES OF LARGE SCALE ADDITIVE MANUFACTURED (LSAM) ABS SINGLE WALL PARTS
Abstract
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is one of the most studied technologies to produce different parts today. Large-scale additive manufacturing (LSAM) is used to produce complex parts without further technological processes and for the production of large-sized polymer parts. In order for the parts produced from polymer materials to show better mechanical properties, a range of different materials is required. In this study, the tensile properties of 3D printed ABS single wall parts using LSAM were investigated experimentally. The effect of carbon fiber (0, 5%, and 10%) additive on the main mechanical properties of ABS was investigated. The tests were carried out according to ASTM D638 standards as the spatial printing direction (0⁰ and 90⁰). According to the results of the tensile test, ABS material reinforced with 5% carbon fiber showed higher load resistance than other mixture ratios. In all groups, it was observed that the samples with a horizontal (0⁰) orientation compared to the printing direction showed better performance.
