Additive Manufacturing (AM) has revolutionized the manufacturing industry by enabling the fabrication of complex and customized components with unprecedented design freedom. In recent years, there has been a significant focus on extending the capabilities of AM to produce fiber reinforced composites, which offer exceptional mechanical properties and enhanced performance characteristics. This article evaluates the tensile and flexural (three-point bending) properties of additively manufactured continuous glass fiber-reinforced nylon composites (CGFRNCs). Composites are designed using constant fiber volume fraction (Vf) and variable fiber orientations (θ) by US-based Markforged’s ‘Mark Two’ 3D printer. Vf is 27% for all composite coupons and θ is varied by 0°, 45°, 90°, and 135° (or -45°). Experimental results show the maximum tensile strength of 225.78 MPa for 0° and maximum flexural strength of 82.84 MPa also for 0°. Damage analysis has been carried out in X-ray Micro Computed Tomography.
