At present, additive manufacturing has become increasingly popular across various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical applications. While this technology offers enhanced design flexibility, they lack mechanical properties and production speed according to the traditional manufacturing methods. Therefore, in this study, the manufacturing of glass fiber woven fabrics with VAT-photopolymerization printing to produce composite parts with enhanced mechanical properties were investigated. Utilization of this method allowed manufacturing of composites with increased manufacturing speeds compared to the conventional methods. Manufactured samples were parametrically investigated by using different stacking sequences and fiber fractions. The mechanical properties of the printed parts were thoroughly examined through compression tests. Maximum compression strength was obtained at 151.82 MPa in (0,90)x4-16 samples with 32% fiber volume. The findings of the study indicate that the use of glass fiber woven fabric in VAT printing holds promise to produce composite parts with improved mechanical properties. By incorporating the glass fiber woven fabric into the VAT printing process, it becomes possible to achieve composite parts that exhibit enhanced strength and performance characteristics, making it an attractive alternative to traditional composite manufacturing methods.
