Abstract

In this paper, the tensile strength of the composite material made of onyx and carbon fibers was investigated. Onyx is a material manufactured by the company Mark Forged, which is used for 3D printing of composite materials. It is a thermoplastic filled with carbon fibers used for printing solid and rigid parts. The tensile test according to the standard ISO 527 was carried out experimentally and the numerical results were obtained by numerically modelling the test specimen and simulating the test in Ansys, after which the results obtained experimentally and numerically were compared.
