“…Additive production was originally limited, primarily, to product prototypes. However, now it is extensively used for the development of final products and their components [ 2 ]. Additive production using 3D printing technology involves applying material in layers, unlike conventional production such as welding, foundry, or machining [ 3 ].…”

Low-Cycle Fatigue Behavior of 3D-Printed PLA Reinforced with Natural Filler

et al. 2022

Additive production is currently perceived as an advanced technology, where intensive research is carried out in two basic directions—modifications of existing printing materials and the evaluation of mechanical properties depending on individual production parameters and the technology used. The current research is focused on the evaluation of the fatigue behavior of 3D-printed test specimens made of pure PLA and PLA reinforced with filler based on pinewood, bamboo, and cork using FDM (fused deposition modeling) technology. This research was carried out in response to the growing demand for filaments from biodegradable materials. This article describes the results of tensile fatigue tests and image analysis of the fracture surface determined by the SEM method. Biodegradable PLA-based materials have their limitations that influence their applicability in practice. One of these limitations is fatigue life, which is the cyclic load interval exceeding 50% of the tensile strength determined in a static test. Comparison of the cyclic fatigue test results for pure PLA and PLA reinforced with natural reinforcement, e.g., pinewood, bamboo, and cork, showed that, under the same loading conditions, the fatigue life of the 3D-printed specimens was similar, i.e., the filler did not reduce the material’s ability to respond to low-cycle fatigue. Cyclic testing did not have a significant effect on the change in tensile strength and associated durability during this loading interval for PLA-based materials reinforced with biological filler. Under cyclic loading, the visco-elastic behavior of the tested materials was found to increase with increasing values of cyclic loading of 30%, 50% and 70%, and the permanent deformation of the tested materials, i.e., viscoelastic behavior (creep), also increased. SEM analysis showed the presence of porosity, interlayer disturbances, and at the same time good interfacial compatibility of PLA with the biological filler.

“…An important representative of biopolymers is, for example, polylactic acid (PLA), which is one of the most widely used commercially available materials [ 7 ]. It is also a significant printing material used in additive production using 3D printing [ 2 ]. PLA is a very widespread material, mainly due to its biodegradability [ 3 ].…”

“…This makes AM versatile for mass production of structural and functional components [9]. These applications are mostly in industries such as medicine , construction [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53] and aerospace product design [2,3,6,[54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62]. Despite the advantages and benefits of additive manufacturing, there are several challenges to adopting this technology.…”

“…A thematic review on the modelling of the various AM processes with the key performance indicator has also been carried out [63]. Most of these reviews and research outputs are Americentric and Eurocentric since developed economies have industries and research centres with state-of-the-art facilities enabling innovation in AM [2,3,6,[54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62]. Countries with some of the highest patents in AM are in the global north [64,65].…”

Global perspective and African outlook on additive manufacturing research − an overview

et al. 2022

Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies and advances made globally in medicine, construction, aerospace, and energy sectors are discussed. The paper further explores the current state of AM innovation and development landscape in Africa as a late comer to this area of smart manufacturing. Peer-reviewed and published literature were retrieved from Scopus database from 2005 to 2021 and analysed. In Africa, out of 500 published articles, South Africa has the highest research throughput, whereas about two-thirds of the continent is not actively participating in this burgeoning field. The main AM techniques most widely used are selective laser melting, fused deposition modelling, and direct energy deposition. Globally, there is an interplay of computational (machine learning and mechanistic models) and experimental approaches to understanding the physical metallurgy of AM techniques and processes. Though this trend is consistent with global practices, Africa lags the world in AM technologies, a niche that could leapfrog the manufacturing sector. Thus, Africa need to foster collaborative partnership within and globally to become an active global player in this industry.

The aim of this article is to report the recent surge in use of additive manufacturing (AM) or three-dimensional printing (3DP) services in healthcare, especially the field of orthopaedics. Pakistan’s healthcare infrastructure has been slow in adapting and implementing this new technology which is an integral part of the industry 4.0. Various sources including Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar and Google were utilised from June to august 2021 to extract articles and information on advantages of AM in orthopaedics. Furthermore, its possible acquisition by a hospital, educational or an industrial setup is also highlighted in this review. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.38.3.5182 How to cite this:Gandapur HK, Amin MS.
