The orientation of glass fibers (GF) introduced by powder bed fusion (PBF) imparts enhanced mechanical properties to polyamide 12 (PA12). However, there is still much room for reinforcement of PBF-printed GF/PA12 composites. In addition, no studies have addressed the flame retardancy of PBF-printed...
