Abstract Polylactic acid (PLA) bioplastic is a common material used in Fused
Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing. It is biodegradable and environmentally
friendly biopolymer which made out of corn. However, it exhibits weak mechanical properties which reduced its usability as a functional prototype in a real-world
application. In the present study, two PLA composites are created through coextruded with 3K carbon fibres and twisted Kevlar string (as core fibre) to form a
fibre reinforced parts (FRP). The mechanical strength of printed parts was examined using ASTM D638 standard with a strain rate of 1 mm/min. It has been
demonstrated that the… More >
