Abstract


Additive manufacturing is a new technology based on the gradual deposition of material into layers that allows in contrast with subtractive technologies many advantages, such as the production of complex-shaped objects, reduction of waste and reduction of time production. In the case of composites printing, the main advantage of the rapid development of additive manufacturing is the possibility to produce the laminates with a controlled arrangement of components in the structure, which could be modified by the specification of printing parameters. The primary aim of the study was the realization of a three-point flexural test on specimens produced by the FFF method to identify mechanical properties. Based on the results, the authors assessed effect of selected printing parameter on achieved flexural strength and flexural strain. In the future, the work will be followed up by an assessment of the effects of other printing parameters (base plane, lamina thickness and so on) on the flexural properties of the laminate.
