Recently, the fused deposition modeling, which is one of the additive manufacturing technologies, has been increasingly used. This method makes it possible to manufacture parts with light weight, less material waste and complex geometries thanks to additive manufacturing technology. However, the mechanical properties of the parts produced by the fused deposition modeling may be lower than the parts produced by the traditional production methods. In order to improve the mechanical properties, materials such as chopped glass,carbon, or Kevlar fiber are added to the matrix polymer. In this study, test samples were produced for the optimization of printing parameters (nozzle temperature, bed temperature and layer thickness) using chopped carbon fiber reinforced PLA. The produced samples were subjected to the three-point bending test and the effect on the mechanical properties was examined. From the productions, the highest maximum bending stress was 54.35 MPa and the highest elastic modulus was 2.55 GPa. The use of carbon fiber reinforced PLA filaments has been shown to have great potential to increase the durability and performance of parts produced with 3D printers.
