        abstract = {This research paper focuses on the thermal and mechanical behavior of carbon fiber-reinforced PLA and PETG composites fabricated using Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). Specimens were prepared under varying printing parameters and evaluated for thermal conductivity and tensile properties. PETG-based composites demonstrated higher average thermal conductivity (0.5818 W/mK) and effusivity (932.4 Ws0.5/m²K), while PLA composites showed superior tensile strength and stiffness. The results emphasize the importance of optimizing printing parameters to tailor composite performance for engineering applications involving thermal management and mechanical reliability.},
