Description
Summary:A fused deposition modelling 3D printer device was employed to fabricate 3D polymeric composite structures in order to evaluate their mechanical properties. Several experimental test methodswere used in the current workto characterize the mechanicalbehaviour ofneat polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) and PETG reinforced with carbon fibres. To determine the static compression stiffness and hysteresis of the specimens, compression and cyclic tests were conducted. Considering the obtained results,PETG’s stiffness was improved with the embedded ofcarbon fibres,while its damping capacity wasmoderately reduced.
