“…For more details, see [18] [19]. Commercially, a variety of traditional feedstock thermoplastic filament materials are supported by FDM based 3D printers, which make them ideal for the consumer market, including acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) [20], polypropylene (PP) [15], polycarbonate (PC) [21], polylactic acid (PLA) [22], polyether imide (PEI) [23], short fiber composite [24], metal [25], bio-resorbable polymers [26], ceramic [27] and metal/polymers mixture materials [28].…”

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) has become widely used for personal/ desktop cost-effective printers. This work presents an investigational platform, which is used to study the surface roughness quality, and dimensional accuracy of 100% infill density printed parts fabricated by a personal/desktop cost-effective FDM 3D printer using different types of thermoplastic filament materials namely, PLA, PLA+, ABS and ABS+. Varieties of experiments were conducted after the fabricated parts were naturally cooled down for at least three hours to room temperature. During printing work, the nozzle diameter, layer height, nozzle temperature and printing speed were set at 0.3 mm, 0.1 mm, 220˚C and 30 mm/s, respectively. According to the experimentally obtained data results over 10 mm scanned profile and 90˚ measuring direction (perpendicular to building direction), PLA+ thermoplastic filament material shows an excellent surface behaviour and is found to be more accurate while ABS does exhibit high surface roughness, waviness and primary behaviour. Both PLA and ABS+ show good surface performance.

“…Comparing the mechanical performance between the FDM PA12 and FDM ABS, the majority of studies reported a reduction of strength [1,4,6,21], after incorporated with fillers, albeit at much lower percentages. The improvement in mechanical properties of the FDM parts can typically be observed when the nano-sized fillers or fibres, were incorporated into the polymer matrix system [4,9,42,43].…”

Abstract. This paper addresses the utilisation of fused deposition modelling (FDM) technology using polyamide 12, incorporated with bioceramic fillers (i.e. zirconia and hydroxyapatite) as a candidate for biomedical applications. The entire production process of printed PA12 is described, starting with compounding, filament wire fabrication and finally, FDM printing. The potential to process PA12 using this technique and mechanical, thermal and morphological properties were also examined. Commonly, a reduction of mechanical properties of printed parts would occur in comparison with injection moulded parts despite using the same material. Therefore, the mechanical properties of the samples prepared by injection moulding were also measured and applied as a benchmark to examine the effect of different processing methods. The results indicated that the addition of fillers improved or maintained the strength and stiffness of neat PA12, at the expense of reduced toughness and flexibility. Melting behaviours of PA12 were virtually insensitive to the processing techniques and were dependent on additional fillers and the cooling rate. Incorporation of fillers slightly lowered the melting temperature, however improved the thermal stability. In summary, PA12 composites were found to perform well with FDM technique and enabling the production of medical implants with acceptable mechanical performances for non-load bearing applications.

“…The plastic extruder (EB-1, Extrusion Bot Co. Chandler, AZ, USA) was used to fabricate the carbon fiber filled filaments. During the extrusion processes, extrusion temperature, filament yield speed, and nozzle diameter were set at 220 0 C, 2 m/min, and 2.85 mm, respectively [14][15][16][17].The filaments could be cut into small pieces and referred in the extruder for the second extrusion to make them with high bulk density, which led to more consistent flow rates and fusion on each layer. During such process, filaments with more homogeneous distribution of carbon fibers could be obtained, thereby improving the FDM fabrication process and parts performance [18][19][20].The FDM 3D printer was used to fabricate CFRP composite parts.…”

Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is widely used method to fabricate thermoplastic parts, which are mainly used as rapid prototypes for functional testing with advantages of minimal wastage, and ease of material change. Due to the intrinsically limited mechanical properties of pure thermoplastic materials, there is a critical need to improve mechanical properties for FDM-fabricated pure thermoplastic parts. One of the possible methods is adding reinforced materials (such as carbon fibers) into plastic materials to form thermoplastic matrix carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites those could be directly used in the actual application areas, such as aerospace, automotive, and wind energy. The current study is focused to take a look of the work done in the area of 3D printing with thermoplastic material and carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic material. The study is attempting to take an overview of reinforcement of different materials into thermoplastic in different ways. The effect of reinforcement of carbon fiber into thermoplastic can be studied by using different mechanical and thermo mechanical tests. The effects of different fiber orientation on mechanical properties, effect on infill speed, and nozzle temperature and layer thickness on tensile properties are also studied. This paper reviews work related to investigation of mechanical and thermo mechanical properties of carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic composite fabricated using fused deposition modelling (FDM).
