Abstract :Additive Manufacturing (AM) is one of the most studied technologies to produce different parts today. Large-scale additive manufacturing (LSAM) is used to produce complex parts without further technological processes and for the production of large-sized polymer parts. In order for the parts produced from polymer materials to show better mechanical properties, a range of different materials is required. In this study, the tensile properties of 3D printed ABS single wall parts using LSAM were investigated experimentally. The effect of carbon fiber (0, 5%, and 10%) additive on the main mechanical properties of ABS was investigated. The tests were carried out according to ASTM D638 standards as the spatial printing direction (0⁰ and 90⁰). According to the results of the tensile test, ABS material reinforced with 5% carbon fiber showed higher load resistance than other mixture ratios. In all groups, it was observed that the samples with a horizontal (0⁰) orientation compared to the printing direction showed better performance.
