Experimental characterization of the tensile strength of ABS parts manufactured by fused deposition modeling process

A Systematic Survey of FDM Process Parameter Optimization and Their Influence on Part Characteristics

“…Stratasys was one of the first companies to develop the FDM process and FDM machine. The following is a list of commonly used FDM machines: Fortus FDM 400 mc machine (Stratasys, Eden Prairie, MN, USA) [10,21,22], Fortus 360 mc machine (Stratasys, Eden Prairie, MN, USA) [23], FDM 200 mc machine (Stratasys, Eden Prairie, MN, USA) [24], FDM 1650 machine (Stratasys, Eden Prairie, MN, USA) [25][26][27][28], FDM Vantage machine (Stratasys, Eden Prairie, MN, USA) [29,30], Ultimaker 2 (Ultimaker, Amsterdam, Netherlands) [23,31,32], MakerBot Replicator 2 (MakerBot, New York, NY, USA) [33,34], MEM-300 machine (Beijing Yinhua Laser Rapid Prototypes Making and Mould Technology Co., Ltd, Beijing, China) [35], Uprint SE 3D printer (Stratasys, Eden Prairie, MN, USA) [5], The FDM 3000 3D printer (Stratasys, Eden Prairie, MN, USA) [36,37], Raise3D N2plus machine (Raise3D, Irvine, CA, USA) [38], Makerbot Replicator 2X (MakerBot, New York, NY, USA) [1,3,20], Julia 3D printer (Fracktal Works, Bangalore, India) [7], FDM Maxum Machine (Stratasys, Eden Prairie, MN, USA) [39], Prodigy Plus (Stratasys, Eden Prairie, MN, USA) [6,40], WitBox desktop 3D printer (BQ, Madrid, Spain) [11], and HP Designjet 3D CQ656A (HP, Palo Alto, CA, USA) [41].…”

“…Also, the authors showed that tensile properties were maximum at (0 • /90 • ) and (−45 • /45 • ) raster orientations for ABS and PC parts, respectively. Raney et al [5] produced ABS parts using a Uprint SE 3D printer and analyzed the influence of build orientation on tensile strength. Aligned with most researchers, tensile strength was found to be maximum at on-edge build orientation.…”

“…A huge number of researchers analyzed various controllable parameters to achieve desirable properties of parts [3][4][5][6][7], and many also worked on optimizing process parameters [8,9]. Many of the researches optimized process parameters in order to improve a single part's quality.…”

On compressive and morphological features of 3D printed almond skin powder reinforced PLA matrix

“…So reinforcements are required for the enhancement of mechanical properties [3]. Also, recent studies reveal that mechanical properties can be improved with proper selection of optimal printing parameters in FFF [4][5][6]. It has been reported that reinforcement of almond skin powder (in different wt%) in polycaprolactone (PCL) leads to improvement in mechanical properties [7].…”

“…The significant gain in elastic modulus (17%) at 10 wt% particle loading was observed in comparison to 0% almond skin powder reinforcement. Also, the crystallinity of bio-composite was improved in comparison to virgin PCL [6,7]. The almond skin reinforced PCL is being used commercially for packaging purpose being more environmental friendly material [8].…”
