Experimental Characterization and Analysis of the In-Plane Elastic Properties and Interlaminar Fracture Toughness of a 3D-Printed Continuous Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Composite

The use of continuous fiber as reinforcement in polymer additive manufacturing technologies enhances the mechanical performance of the manufactured parts. This is the case of the Carbon-Fiber reinforced PolyAmide (CF/PA) used by the MarkForged MarkTwo<sup>®</sup> 3D printer. However, the...
