Özet

Continuous carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRTP) are widely used today due to their excellent mechanical, thermal and chemical performance. In addition, the production of CFRTP parts with 3D printing has recently been the subject of interest in the field of additive manufacturing. Despite this, 3D printed CFRTP parts still have not fulfilled the desired mechanical properties. In this study, continuous carbon fiber reinforced nylon filament was produced and test samples were produced at three different printing speeds (1.5mm/s, 2.5mm/s, 5 mm/s) using a 3D printer suitable for the melt stacking method (FDM). To investigate the mechanical properties of the test specimens, the specimens were subjected to tensile testing. Thus, the effect of printing speed on mechanical properties was investigated. By determining the optimum printing speed, the production of high-strength composite parts is made possible.
