Three-dimensional (3D) printing has an increasing popularity in recent years with easy availability and
the wide range of applications in many fields. While producing textile-like structures with 3D
technology is still a challenging problem, combining textiles with 3D printed structures enables the
manufacture of many alternative structures in the field of textile applications. This study investigates
the effect of 3D parts with different infill patterns printed onto the cotton woven fabric for tensile
strength. For this purpose, 3D parts with concentric, grid and triangle infill patterns were printed onto
plain and twill woven fabrics with polylactic acid (PLA) filaments in the Fused Filament Fabrication
technique. Adhesion between fabric and 3D parts and tensile strengths of produced structures were
measured to assess the effectiveness of 3D printing. Results showed that greater adhesion between 3D
parts and fabrics were obtained for plain-woven fabrics. The infill patterns were also found effective for
the tensile strength performance.
