Abstract
This article discusses the process of manufacturing filament for 3D printing from ABS plastic reinforced with basalt
fibers. ABS was extruded from 10wt.% basalt fibers, which made it possible to obtain a composite material for FDM printing
technology. The analysis showed a uniform distribution of fibers in the matrix. Problems related to the fragility of the filament
and its poor adhesion to the platform during printing have been identified. The parameters of the 3D printer for printing
complex shape parts were optimized.
