Abstract:The bed part of a fused-filament-fabrication-based composite 3D printer was simulated, and the use of a hot plate to control the trans-crystallization (TC) thickness in the bed part was evaluated based on the molding conditions under which TC is known to occur. An experiment using plastic, which is commonly used in 3D printers, showed that TC was generated vertically from the surface of carbon fiber. Some resins exhibited an increasing degree of isothermal crystallization as the temperature of the bed was incr… Show more
