Abstract

With the advancement of fused deposition modelling (FDM), there is a great need for new high-performance materials capable of meeting the requirements of different engineering applications. This study focuses on the comparative evaluation of mechanical characteristics of such thermoplastic polymers processed by FDM as PLA (several variants), PC, PA, ABS, TPU95A, PP, CPE, PET-G, PEI, and PEKK. Tensile properties of “as-produced” filaments, extruded mono-fibres, and unidirectional printed specimens are compared. The compatibility of different polymer types for hybrid structures is evaluated in the adhesion tests.
