The FDM 3D printer was used to produce the samples from carbon-reinforced ABS filament. Four different infill styles with different infill densities were used. The results of tensile and flexural tests show that for both ABS and ABS-CF, strength and stiffness increase with infill density. Compared to neat ABS, the ABS-CF significantly increases strength and modulus of elasticity.
