The effect of printing density composites was studiedby the tensile test. The used materials stress-strain curves were analyzed tofind modulus of elasticity and the ultimate tensile strength of the mentionedmaterials. The results manifested that carbon fiber has the highest strength -weight ratio. On the other hand, the carbon fiber showed more ductility thanthe Polylactic Acid. The results of this work will be aiding the researchers orengineering students to decide which material is suitable for 3D printingapplications.
