abstract = "Plane-strain fracture toughness is one of the main parameters in linear elastic fracture mechanics and its purpose is to show the material capability to withstand load while having a defect. Main validity aspect for such an assessment is to provide a wide enough crack front to enable plane-strain condition. Nonetheless, in FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling), due to structural anisotropy caused by polymer material properties and Additive Manufacturing (AM) process parameters, more validity aspects must be met. During the plane-strain fracture toughness test a crack must follow a straight line from initiation up to the point of structural failure. Plane-strain fracture toughness assessment is conducted according to the ASTM D5045-14 standard for testing of polymer materials. Tests are performed on SENB (Single Edge Notched Bend) specimens, made from two similar polymer materials: quasi-brittle PLA and ductile PLA-X composite. Specimens are manufactured with four different AM process parameters, i.e., layer height, infill density, printing orientation and one specimen batch was dried before testing.",
