The chapter presents methods of forming fiber composites in the extrusion head used in the Fused Deposition Modeling printing technique. Designs of two printhead layout solutions were presented. In both cases, the numerical simulations showed the correctness of the construction and compliance with the assumptions. A method for estimating the effective content of reinforcements in composites obtained by these methods was presented. The influence of process variables on the geometrical properties

The tensile strength of the tested composites increases in direct proportion to the percentage of fiber content in the composite.
