| description | Additive manufacturing of composite materials is progressing in the world of 3D printing technologies; composite materials allow the combination of the physical and mechanical properties of two or more constituents to create a new material that meets the required properties of several applications. In this research, the impact of adding Kevlar<sup>®</sup> reinforcement rings on the tensile and flexural properties of the Onyx™ (nylon with carbon fibers) matrix was analyzed. Parameters such as infill type, infill density and fiber volume percentage were controlled to determine the mechanical response in tensile and flexural tests of the additive manufactured composites. The tested composites showed an increment of four times the tensile modulus and 1.4 times the flexural modulus of pure Onyx™ matrix when compared with that of the Onyx™–Kevlar<sup>®</sup>. The experimental measurements demonstrated that Kevlar<sup>®</sup> reinforcement rings can increase the tensile and flexural modulus of Onyx™–Kevlar<sup>®</sup> composites using low fiber volume percentages (lower than 19% in both samples) and 50% of rectangular infill density. However, the appearance of some defects, such as delamination, was observed and should be further analyzed to obtain products that are errorless and can be reliable for real functions as in automotive or aeronautical industries. |
