3D printing is a way of accretive manufacturing that allows the creation of sophisticatedly shaped bodies at fairly low cost and in a short time span. It’s especially useful for rapid- fire manufacturing, including engineering operations analogous as rapid- fire prototyping. The generally used fused deposition modelling (FDM) system dispenses filament from heated nozzle deposited in three axes that hardens after exiting the nozzle. This composition presents the exploration concentrated on the mechanical properties( mainly the introductory tensile strength and elastic modulus) of elements printed using the FDM system, made of two distinctive accoutrements polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) without additions and glass- fibre reinforced PETG. The paper outlines strengths and sins of the materials described and compares the properties of PETG with and without the addition of glass fibre. The gathered data helps to quantify the mechanical properties of parts made of PETG and may also be used for modelling the properties of 3D printed rudiments.
