Abstract:High‐density polyethylene (HDPE) is largely processed using conventional manufacturing techniques. However, there is a need to investigate its processability when fabricated using additive manufacturing (AM) in an effort to use this polymer for high‐end applications, such as the fabrication of human implants. In this regard, the current study investigated the intrinsic and extrinsic properties of HDPE powders (DiaPow HDPE HX R) from Diamond Plastics GmbH, to determine its feasibility of use in powder bed fusio… Show more
