PEEK has several approving mechanical properties; however, for certain demanding applications such as automotive, PEEK does not exhibit the required strength. Moreover, if the PEEK parts are developed by Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF)-based 3D Printing, there is a high chance of having PEEK parts with decreased mechanical properties. Carbon Fiber (CF) reinforcement is a well-known method of mitigating the low mechanical properties of PEEK. Hence, in the present study, we attempted to develop CFreinforced PEEK (CFR-PEEK) parts via FFF. First, we developed homogeneous CFR-PEEK mixtures via ball milling and explored the effects of different milling duration and speeds on the extent of uniform dispersion of the CFs in the PEEK matrix. Next, we fed the CFR-PEEK milled powders into a hightemperature extrusion setup to develop uniform-diameter CFR-PEEK laments. We analyzed the effects of different extrusion parameters on the uniform-diameter CFR-PEEK lament quality to make it suitable for 3D Printing. Finally, the CFR-PEEK laments were used in a high-temperature FFF setup to develop designspeci c parts. Our results indicate that 400 rpm and 4h were apt for developing uniform CFR-PEEK mixtures. Interestingly, increasing the CF content above 10 vol% resulted in brittle laments. The extrusion temperature, speed, and cooling rate played a major role in forming the uniform-diameter CFR-PEEK laments. Finally, the 3D printed CFR-PEEK parts exhibited a tensile strength of 49MPa, lesser than un lled PEEK. We indicate that poor interfacial bonding of the CF with the PEEK matrix is a primary reason for this reduced strength. In addition, printing defects such as pores also contributed to the reduced strength of the CFR-PEEK parts.
