Abstract 3D printing technology has revolutionized the field of machinery, aerospace, and electronics. To address the shortcomings of previous studies on improving the poor mechanical properties of the resin used in 3D printers, this study presents a technology for fabricating short fibres or a continuous fibre-composite material using stereolithography 3D printing. Glass powder and fibreglass fabric were used as the discontinuous and continuous fibre reinforcement of light-cured resin material. The tensile strength and Young’s modulus showed a marked increase: these were 7.2 and 11.5 times higher than those of the resin specimen, respectively.
