A real object is produced using the additive manufacturing technique of three-dimensional (3D) printing from a digital design. Thin layers of material, such as liquid or powered plastic, metal, or cement, are first laid down, and then the layers are fused together. Recent years have seen a surge in interest in fused deposition modelling due to its revolutionary impact on the quick production of customized polymer-based composite parts. Understanding these printed components' fundamental mechanical characteristics is crucial to make engineering applications for them easier. In this project, the mechanical properties of samples made by fused deposition modelling with various additives, such as wood, ceramic, copper, aluminum, and carbon fibers based Polylactic acid composites, are thoroughly investigated. These properties include tensile, hardness, and impact properties. A thorough comparison and analysis is done of the impacts of various Polylactic composites, construction orientations, and raster angles on mechanical reactions. In this work, we examine the mechanical characteristics of 3D-printed Wood mixed PLA filament, including tensile strength, impact strength, and hardness. The FDM process is used to create the specimen. In this project, an 8:2 blend ratio of PLA and the wood addition was chosen since it is thought to have mechanical properties that are successfully adjusted when compared to pure PLA. Types of printing pathways are created with the parameters of raster angles, infill density, and speed for each printing orientation.
