Experimental Investigation on Mechanical properties of CF15PET and GF30PP materials produced with different raster angles

Abstract

In recent years, additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have been used in many industries, such as automotive, defense, space, and aviation. Depending on the development of this technology, the effect of the relationship between many parameters, such as raster angles, production speed, and melting temperature used during the production of materials, has been an important issue in the mechanical properties of materials. In this study, the effects of ±45° and 0–90° raster angles used during the production of 15 % short carbon fiber reinforced polyethylenetereflatate (CF15PET) and 30 % short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (GF30PP) materials on the mechanical properties of the materials were investigated. As a result of the study, it was determined that different raster angles affect the mechanical properties of both materials.
