This paper presents the state-of-the-art of additive manufacturing of composites for processing functional, load-bearing components. A general overview of different additive manufacturing methods is provided, and specific attention is focused on fused filament fabrication-based composites processing. Different process modeling strategies are summarized, and key aspects of these models are discussed. Significant results such as thermal and fluid flow characteristics, effects of nozzle geometry on melt flow, fiber orientation, bead spreading, and solidification, the formation of residual stresses, and deformation behavior are discussed from computational modeling perspective. The scientific advancement, model limitations, and future modeling needs are prescribed reviewing the current works. A general overview of material development in nano-micro-macro-scale reinforcement is also presented. Different length-scales of reinforcement has its own challenges and promises. The continuous fiber reinforcement has a great potential for being the next-generation composites manufacturing technology. However, the challenges in reducing the void content, better bonding between the fiber–matrix, and layer-layer adhesion, and process uncertainty are some of the key areas yet to advance. Based on the current limitations on computational modeling, materials development, and process modeling studies, future research needs and recommendations are provided.

In this work, the E-glass in the powder form is considered as reinforcement with PolyLacticAcid (PLA) to analyze a composite using the micromechanics approach. The particle reinforced composite properties were estimated through Finite Element software ANSYS. Finite element model was validated with analytical expressions. For evaluating the proposed composite for 3D printing applications, a plate was modeled. This composite plate was analyzed under combined thermal, mechanical loading. Studies were carried out to predict the normal and shear stresses generated in the composite plate. The E glass powder volume fraction was increased from 5% to 30%. The results of normal and shear stresses were compared with pure PLA matrix. It was found that E-glass reinforced composite was superior when compared to pure PLA. The results of the present work suggest addition of E-Glass particles in pure PLA matrix when used as a filament to improve the properties of 3D printed component.

“…A feedstock filament of ferromagnetic nature have been developed using Fe-Nylon 6 composite material having better mechanical, thermal and rheological properties as compared to commercial ABS-P430 feedstock material [15]. In an another study it has been reported that poly lactic acid filament with reinforced wood particles show better tensile strength up to 10% of wood content with no change in glass transition temperature of filament [16,17]. The environmental impact of 3D printing is also being noticed by some researchers based upon factors such as waste management, pollution control and resource consumption and has been reported that 3D printing is more material efficient [18], consumes more energy because of lower productivity and uses fewer harmful chemicals in comparison with subtractive manufacturing and hence is environmental friendly and also capable of making complex and efficient product design [19].…”

“…The commercial recycling of thermoplastics for sustainable manufacturing is quite common as these polymers can be reshaped on heating/ cooling, but recycling of thermosetting polymers is still one of the major challenges. For thermoplastic polymers, recycling can be performed by adopting different routes like: mechanical (primary and secondary), chemical (tertiary) and thermal utilization (quaternary) but these means for polymer recycling do not work well with thermosetting polymers because of extensive cross linking of polymeric chains (observed on curing thermosetting polymers resulting in irreversibly hardened, infusible and insoluble polymer network) [12][13][14][15][16][17]. In the present research work, effort has been made for recycling of thermosetting polymer; MF as reinforcement in ABS thermoplastic as secondary way of recycling by varying proportion of MF for sustainable manufacturing.…”

This study outline the procedure of filament fabrication for fused deposition modelling (FDM), based upon rheological, mechanical, thermal, wear and morphological characterization as a case study of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) - melamine formaldehyde (MF) composite. It has been ascertained that with increase in proportion of MF in ABS, viscosity is improved and melt flow index (MFI) is reduced significantly. As regards to the wear behavior is concerned it has been observed that ABS-MF (12.5 wt.%) composite has shown minimum weight loss and porosity. For the mechanical properties of the composite, experimental results show increased brittleness of the samples with addition of MF reinforcement. The thermal stability analysis was performed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for virgin ABS and samples having 12.5% MF in ABS and results show the increased heat capacity of the material with increase in MF percentage. Further for sustainability analysis (based upon thermal stability), matrix of ABS-MF12.5% was subjected to three repeated thermal (heating-cooling) cycles and it has been ascertained that no significant loss was noticed in heat capacity of recycled composite matrix. The results are also supported by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Overall the results of the rheological, mechanical, wear, morphological and thermal properties suggested that 12.5% proportion of MF can be reinforced into selected grade of ABS thermoplastic for 3D printing as a sustainable solution.
