Additive manufacturing is a process of joining material, that brings many benefits such as customization and low production cost. Markforged developed Continuous Fiber Fabrication technology, which allows printing continuous fibre reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) composites. Although printed CFRTP composite parts achieve mechanical properties better than other 3D printed counterparts, there is a demand to gain suitable mechanical properties comparable with conventionally manufactured parts using improvements in printing parameters and fibre deposition. In this paper, the main goal is analyzing of geometry constraints of fibre deposition and modelling options in FEM program ADINA. Additionally, stress distribution analysis with regard to stresses in matrix and fibres will be performed.
