“…Fused deposition modeling (FDM), as the most commonly used and low‐cost 3D printing technology, [ 16–19 ] has been extensively utilized in fabricating personalized PEKK parts. [ 20–23 ] However, different from injection or compression molding processes, the inherent nature of FDM build methodology results in printed parts with increased localized porosity, low layer‐to‐layer bonding, and anisotropy characteristics.…”

Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) is an engineering plastic with ultrahigh mechanical performance and has attracted considerable attention in the medical and technical fields. Printing parameters during fused deposition modeling (FDM) for PEKK have a significant impact on final part quality. In this study, a relationship between the process parameters and flexural properties of PEKK was investigated by conducting three‐point bending tests, and scanning electron microscopy was employed to analyze the microstructure of fracture surfaces. Nozzle temperature, layer thickness, and infill density affected flexural properties by changing the porosity and interlayer bonding strength. Interlayer separation is the main failure mode of the upright orientation samples, while intralayer failure is likely to occur in the on‐edge orientation samples. The flexural properties of FDM‐printed PEKK under optimum parameters are comparable to those of mandibular bones, indicating that PEKK is a potential candidate for repairing mandibular defects. The results highlighted in this study are fundamental to the optimal design of complex ultralight, highly efficient structures.

“…On the other hand, 3D printing is a rapidly evolving digital technology [ 27 , 28 ], enabling the automatic fabrication of complex shapes with minimum material waste [ 29 , 30 ] for many applications such as automotive, aerospace, construction, and medicine [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. Among 3D printing technologies, the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is the least expensive, producing parts using multiple different materials [ 30 , 35 , 36 ]. In the FFF process, a polymeric filament is continuously fed into a heated nozzle that melts the polymer, layering it in thin slabs onto a print bed, forming a 3D part [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ].…”

Nowadays the use of natural fiber composites has gained significant interest due to their low density, high availability, and low cost. The present study explores the development of sustainable 3D printing filaments based on rice husk (RH), an agricultural residue, and recycled polypropylene (rPP) and the influence of fiber weight ratio on physical, thermal, mechanical, and morphological properties of 3D printing parts. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the composite’s degradation process started earlier than for the neat rPP due to the lignocellulosic fiber components. Mechanical tests showed that tensile strength increased when using a raster angle of 0° than specimens printed at 90°, due to the weaker inter-layer bonding compared to in-layer. Furthermore, inter layer bonding tensile strength was similar for all tested materials. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images revealed the limited interaction between the untreated fiber and matrix, which led to reduced tensile properties. However, during the printing process, composites presented lower warping than printed neat rPP. Thus, 3D printable ecofriendly natural fiber composite filaments with low density and low cost can be developed and used for 3D printing applications, contributing to reduce the impact of plastic and agricultural waste.

“…In FDM, a thermoplastic material is heated and extruded from a hot nozzle, which deposits it in a controlled manner on the printing platform to construct an object [8]. The main advantages of the FDM process are considered to be its simplicity, the high-speed printing, and its low cost [9,10].…”

This paper investigates the quality performance of FDM 3D printed models with thin walls. The design of experiments method (DOE) was used and nine models of the same size were fabricated in a low-cost 3D printer using polylactic acid (PLA) material. Two limited studied parameters were considered (extraction temperature and wall thickness), each one having three levels. External X and Y dimensions were measured using a micrometer, as well as four surface roughness parameters (Ra, Rz, Rt, Rsm) with a surface tester. Two optimization techniques (the Taguchi approach and Grey relational analysis) were utilized along with statistical analysis to examine how the temperature and wall thickness affect the dimensional accuracy and the surface quality of the parts. The results showed that high extraction temperature and median wall thickness values optimize both dimensional accuracy and surface roughness, while temperature is the most important factor.
