“…Since changing the layering technique into conventional technique may be both impractical and expensive, considerable research has focused on improving material performance and functionality by developing polymer composites for FDM feedstocks [6]. Early studies concentrated on using ABS and PLA filled with micron or nanoscale particles, such as graphene, short fibre, montmorillonite, metals and TCP [7][8][9][10][11][12] to improve mechanical properties. The results of these studies highlighted that all mechanical properties of printed composites demonstrated some improvement either in the modulus or both the strength and modulus as compared to pure polymer.…”

Abstract. This paper addresses the utilisation of fused deposition modelling (FDM) technology using polyamide 12, incorporated with bioceramic fillers (i.e. zirconia and hydroxyapatite) as a candidate for biomedical applications. The entire production process of printed PA12 is described, starting with compounding, filament wire fabrication and finally, FDM printing. The potential to process PA12 using this technique and mechanical, thermal and morphological properties were also examined. Commonly, a reduction of mechanical properties of printed parts would occur in comparison with injection moulded parts despite using the same material. Therefore, the mechanical properties of the samples prepared by injection moulding were also measured and applied as a benchmark to examine the effect of different processing methods. The results indicated that the addition of fillers improved or maintained the strength and stiffness of neat PA12, at the expense of reduced toughness and flexibility. Melting behaviours of PA12 were virtually insensitive to the processing techniques and were dependent on additional fillers and the cooling rate. Incorporation of fillers slightly lowered the melting temperature, however improved the thermal stability. In summary, PA12 composites were found to perform well with FDM technique and enabling the production of medical implants with acceptable mechanical performances for non-load bearing applications.

Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is widely used method to fabricate thermoplastic parts, which are mainly used as rapid prototypes for functional testing with advantages of minimal wastage, and ease of material change. Due to the intrinsically limited mechanical properties of pure thermoplastic materials, there is a critical need to improve mechanical properties for FDM-fabricated pure thermoplastic parts. One of the possible methods is adding reinforced materials (such as carbon fibers) into plastic materials to form thermoplastic matrix carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites those could be directly used in the actual application areas, such as aerospace, automotive, and wind energy. The current study is focused to take a look of the work done in the area of 3D printing with thermoplastic material and carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic material. The study is attempting to take an overview of reinforcement of different materials into thermoplastic in different ways. The effect of reinforcement of carbon fiber into thermoplastic can be studied by using different mechanical and thermo mechanical tests. The effects of different fiber orientation on mechanical properties, effect on infill speed, and nozzle temperature and layer thickness on tensile properties are also studied. This paper reviews work related to investigation of mechanical and thermo mechanical properties of carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic composite fabricated using fused deposition modelling (FDM).

Abstract-Additive Manufacturing (AM) process has been effective in producing materials that are being utilized by the aerospace industry in order to improve their performance by increasing their properties. Industry now opts for this technique over conventional methods as it has enormous advantages and applications. This Additive Manufacturing process is capable of producing complex near net shape of parts. The materials that are produced by this technique for aerospace industries are metal alloys, metal matrix composites, polymer matrix composites, ceramic matrix composites and nano-composites. Many of the composite materials are still under research and development. In this study, a literature review on the mechanical properties of the materials that are used in the aerospace industry by AM process is discussed and these properties are also compared with the materials produced by conventional methods. The purpose of this review is to highlight the importance of Additive Manufacturing technique and also understand the effect of this process on the materials tested. During this work, the evolution of materials in the aerospace sector, the basic concept of AM technique, the application of the materials, the properties obtained when processing is done, the limitations and the scope for research are given.
