Key Points

To evaluate how additive manufacturing processing parameters govern microstructural features and mechanical performance in fiber- and particle-reinforced polymer composites.
Synthesized processing frameworks across additive manufacturing technologies, including material extrusion, stereolithography, and powder bed fusion.
Examined the effects of particulate, short-fiber, and continuous-fiber reinforcements on matrix-filler interfacial bonding and void formation.
Reinforcement alignment along the print direction substantially increases stiffness and ultimate tensile strength, but induces severe mechanical anisotropy.
Inter-layer porosity, void formation, and poor interfacial adhesion remain primary limiting factors for dynamic fatigue resistance and load-bearing reliability.
