Two fused deposition modelling techniques were utilized using a off-the-shelf printer and a low-cost modified printer. Results demonstrate significant improvement in the effective thermal conductivity of the composite compared to the base polymer. One samples was experimentally tested to examine the veracity of the model predictions.enThe copyright for the paper content remains with the authorHeat TransferManufacturingMaterials TechnologyContinuous fibreContinuous wireConductive polymersThermal Properties3D printingArticle
