Additive manufacturing provides the ability to produce structural components featuring complex shapes in one step, compared to traditional methods of production. Therefore, additive manufacturing has recently gained attention for the direct production of parts. Using fibre reinforced filaments offers the opportunity to improve the mechanical properties of FFF printed components. In order to dimension them correctly, the mechanical properties of additive manufactured samples based on glass fibre reinforced filaments were determined. Additionally, the influence of extrusion paths resulting in a distinct fibre orientation were taken into account. Samples were produces by FFF-method (Fused Filament Fabrication) from three materials: Bulk ABS and short glass fibre reinforced ABS featuring 5 wt% and 10 wt% fibre content. Additionally, samples were printed in two different raster orientations of 0° and 90°. Three different sample types were manufactured in order to perform tension, flexural and impact tests. Prior to printing the samples, the slicer parameters were optimized for usage with the fibre reinforced filament. To determine the FOD (Fibre Orientation Distribution) and FLD (Fibre Length Distribution), the samples were scanned using a CT. Results show that fibre reinforced filaments used in this contribution can increase stiffness to 150 % of the bulk material in printing direction with a fibre weight content of 10 %. CT investigations have shown that the orientation of fibres is primary aligned to the printing path.
