“…Wu et al [15] reported that the warping deformation using FDM is minimal with a chamber temperature of 130 • C and a nozzle temperature of 350 • C. In their single factor experiment, as the chamber temperature increases from 90 • C to 130 • C, the sample deformation is reduced significantly. Hu et al [24] reported that they decreased the warpage of PEEK parts' edge from 20.4% to 5.0% by applying higher chamber temperature, adding a heat collector module, a new heater to the nozzle, and using a PEEK substrate. Dimensional variance should be taken into consideration before printing when setting the dimension compensation parameters.…”

“…Nozzle temperatures below 400 • C caused either nozzle clogging or delamination of the final product, and above 430 • C resulted in either considerable filament deformation or material degradation. Hu et al [24] designed a new heater control nozzle module to improve the temperature uniformity in the printing area. They used 385 • C for nozzle temperature in the experiment and reported samples with less warpage and delamination.…”

“…Most of the authors used air cooling as cooling methods, while others also explored different cooling methods such as furnace cooling, quenching, annealing, and tempering. Wu et al [15] came to the conclusion that 130 • C is the most suitable chamber temperature for PEEK printing, while Hu et al [24] applied 135 • C as plate temperature. Vaezi et al [17] identified a plate temperature of 130 • C and an ambient temperature of 80 • C as applicable conditions for an extrusion rate of 2.2 mg/s.…”

In this review, we discuss the parameters of fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology used in finished parts made from polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and also the possibility of printing small PEEK parts. The published articles reporting on 3D printed PEEK implants were obtained using PubMed and search engines such as Google Scholar including references cited therein. The results indicate that although many have been experiments conducted on PEEK 3D printing, the consensus on a suitable printing parameter combination has not been reached and optimized parameters for printing worth pursuing. The printing of reproducible tiny-sized PEEK parts with high accuracy has proved to be possible in our experiments. Understanding the relationships among material properties, design parameters, and the ultimate performance of finished objects will be the basis for further improvement of the quality of 3D printed medical devices based on PEEK and to expand the polymers applications.

“…However, as these engineering plastics have high mechanical and thermal properties [4], they are difficult to mold into the desired shapes with predictable qualities. As a result, new molding processes such as 3D printing [5,6] and others [7,8] are being studied.…”

Characterization of Engineering Plastics Plasticized Using Supercritical CO2

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physical and chemical properties of engineering plastics processed using supercritical CO2. First, we prepared disk-shaped test pieces via a general molding process, which were plasticized using supercritical CO2 at temperatures lower than the glass-transition points of engineering plastics. Amorphous polymers were plasticized, and their molecular weight remained nearly unchanged after treatment with supercritical CO2. The mechanical strength significantly decreased despite the unchanged molecular weight. The surface roughness and contact angle increased slightly, and electrical properties such as the rate of charging decreased significantly. These results suggest that supercritical CO2 could be used for a new molding process performed at lower temperatures than those used in general molding processes, according to the required properties.

“…Advances in the area of Additive Manufacturing (AM) (commonly known as 3D printing) methods have considerably increased the realization of intricate designs in physical 3D components, ready for direct applications, such as ceramics [1], biomedical parts [2,3], textiles [3], food industry [4] and microfluidic devices [5]. There is a long list of AM methods, such as Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) [6][7][8][9], stereolithography [10][11][12] and selective laser sintering etc. [13][14][15].…”

Novel Approach to Manufacture an AUV Propeller by Additive Manufacturing and Error Analysis

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is an unmanned tether-free vehicle which is powered by battery or fuel cell. The weight of the AUV is a major issue to be decided when considering its performance. To manufacture a propeller that is lighter in weight and able to carry the pressure applied to the blades is an involving process. The present study investigates the performance of the propeller of an AUV, manufactured by additive manufacturing, using ABS plastic material. The propeller blade designed in SolidWorks was transferred to the CUBPRO (DUO), followed by setting the parameters for a 3D printing machine. A comparative study was carried out for ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) material between the required dimensions and a 3D printed model dimension propeller blade. An error analysis was carried out and we observed that ABS material is the most suitable for an AUV propeller. A stress-strain analysis for the propeller was carried out using the Finite Element Method.
