The complete mechanical properties (tensile, compressive, and shear properties) of the additively manufactured (AM) continuous carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) fabricated using extrusion-based AM technique were investigated and reported. The fracture modes of the AM CFRTP in various mec...
