“…To differentiate themselves, various manufacturers often use different acronyms for describing the same process, and, therefore, similar techniques might have different names [43]. These have all been previously compared and reviewed comprehensively [17,[44][45][46], and many of these techniques have been individually reviewed in high detail including powder-based electron beam additive manufacturing (EBAM) technology [47], and the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) process, also termed, Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) [48,49].…”

Additive manufacturing, which is also known as 3D printing, is an emerging and growing technology. It is providing significant innovations and improvements in many areas such as engineering, production, medicine, and more. 3D food printing is an area of great promise to provide an indulgence or entertaining experience, personalized food product, or specific nutritional needs. This paper reviews the additive manufacturing methods and materials in detail as well as their advantages and disadvantages. After a full discussion of 3D food printing, the reports on edible printed materials are briefly presented and discussed. In the end, the current and future outlook of additive manufacturing in the food industry is shown.

“…Body models of the specimen were exported to STL (standard triangulation language) format. Then those were processed by "Cura" free software, which these days is applied frequently worldwide for such purposes [3]. This software divides the body model into layers, and provides an environment for defining production and geometric parameters.…”

Nowadays additive manufacturing continues to gain more and more space in industrial technology. In particular, FDM (fused deposition modelling) machines have become easily available to the public. Quality of parts is impacted by several factors. In this study we investigate layer thicknesses of a prototype manufactured from PLA, and we pay special attention to the thickness of sequentially deposited layers.

“…The plasticized material is placed in paths which, while cooling down, connect with the lower path. Pathways form layers and so layer by layer a finished model is created [1][2][3][4][5]. The movements of the extruder and work platform and the temperatures of the table and nozzle are controlled by integrated circuits in the printer [6].…”

“…The use of this technology allows you to make prototypes in almost every field of production and creation. In FFF technology, the material is laid by the nozzle in layers, which leads to the formation of a rough surface perpendicular to the applied layers [1][2][3][4][5]. Depending on the adopted print resolution, it will vary.…”

“…Over time, new materials such as ASA (acrylonitrile), polyamides, PVA [poly(vinyl alcohol)], HIPS (high impact polystyrene), PET [poly(ethylene terephthalate)], PC (polycarbonate), HDPE (high density polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer) were introduced [7]. In FFF technology the most widely used materials are PLA and ABS [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. The first one is a polymer with a density of about 1.24 g/cm 3 .…”

Surface treatment of incrementally produced components in FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) technology

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The aim of the conducted research was to examine the possibility of using chemical and physical methods of surface treatment of elements printed on a 3D printer. Elements were printed from polylactide (PLA) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) -materials most commonly used in fused filament fabrication (FFF) technology. Roughness measurements were made to assess the quality of individual methods. The best surface smoothness results were obtained during abrasive paper processing and after applying epoxy resin. The intended effect was also obtained after processing samples from PLA in chloroform fumes, and ABS samples in acetone vapors.Streszczenie: Zbadano możliwości wykorzystania chemicznych i fizycznych metod obróbki powierzchniowej elementów wydrukowanych za pomocą drukarki 3D. Elementy wytworzono z polilaktydu (PLA) i kopolimeru akrylonitrylo-butadieno-styrenowego (ABS) -materiałów najpowszechniej stosowanych w technologii Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). Jakość wykonania przy użyciu poszczególnych metod oceniano na podstawie chropowatości powierzchni wytworzonych elementów. Najlepszą gładkość powierzchni uzyskano w wyniku obróbki wydrukowanych elementów papierami ściernymi i nałożeniu żywicy epoksydowej. Zamierzony efekt uzyskano też w wyniku obróbki próbek z PLA w oparach chloroformu, a próbek z ABS w oparach acetonu.
