“…FDM and hot press molding techniques were combined to fabricate hybrid polymer composites with ABS, glass fiber, and carbon fibers. It was found that the hybrid composites exhibited better thermomechanical characteristics than the ABS which can be applicable as structural parts of aircrafts, automobiles, and shipping vessels [5]. FDM 3D printing offers a more economical alternative to traditional subtractive manufacturing techniques.…”

Additive manufacturing has witnessed an upward trend in utilization across diverse industries in recent years. This study examines the tribological properties of polymer composites produced using additive manufacturing. The polymer composites were produced using the fusion deposition modeling process. Subsequently, they undergo thermal spray coating and spin coating processes that deposit hafnium carbide particles onto their surface. The wear test studies were conducted at three distinct temperature levels in accordance with the ASTM standard procedure. The findings demonstrated that the application of a ceramic particle coating led to a substantial decrease in the specific wear rates. Additionally, there were observed differences in the wear rates depending on the specific methods used for applying the coating. The application of thermal coating shown high efficacy in reducing wear rates and safeguarding the underlying materials against material loss. The uncoated PLA-CF material showed a slightly significant amount of material degradation as the test chamber temperature increased, in comparison to the coated specimens. The average specific wear rate of the thermally coated PLA-CF specimen at a temperature of 70˚C is 0.000156 kg/Nm.

“…While CFs offer the most exceptional performance benefits, they are typically more expensive than other reinforcing agents, such as GF or BF. GFs, typically made of borosilicate glass, are valued for their cost-effectiveness, providing improved strength, stiffness, impact resistance, dimensional stability, temperature resistance, and chemical resistance [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. BFs, which are derived from basalt rock through a process of melting and extrusion, offer a balance between performance and affordability, making them a compelling choice for many applications [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ].…”

This paper presents the results of experimental investigation of the mechanical characteristics of 3D-printed acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and its modifications reinforced with different types of short-fiber fillers: carbon, glass, and basalt. Elastic modulus, tensile and bending strength, as well as fracture toughness were determined in series of mechanical tests for samples produced with different manufacturing parameters, such as nozzle diameter and infill angle. It was found that the use of ABS filament reinforced with the short fibers can significantly improve the mechanical properties of 3D-printed devices when the infill angle is oriented along the vector of the applied load. In such a case, the elastic modulus and tensile strength can be increased by more than 1.7 and 1.5 times, respectively. The use of a larger nozzle diameter led to the growth of tensile strength by an average of 12.5%. When the macroscopic load is applied along the normal to the printed layers, the addition of short fibers does not give much gain in mechanical properties compared to pure ABS, which was confirmed by both standard tensile and fracture toughness tests. The surface of the fractured samples was examined using scanning electronic microscopy, which allowed us to make conclusions on the type of defects as well as on the level of adhesion between the polymeric matrix and different types of short fibers.

“…The authors showed a positive correlation between thermal conductivity, tensile strength, and filler weight content. Aravind et al [ 33 ] also studied the thermal and mechanical properties of 3D-printed ABS composite reinforced with glass/carbon fibres. The authors demonstrated the high tensile properties of the ABS composites, namely elongation at break, tensile modulus, and tensile strength, as well as enhanced thermal expansion behaviour.…”

This study investigated how printing conditions influence the fracture behaviour of 3D-printed acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) under tensile loading. Dog-bone-shaped ABS specimens were produced using the fusion filament fabrication technique, with varying printing angles. Tensile tests were conducted on pre-notched specimens with consistent pre-notch lengths but different orientations. Optical and scanning electron microscopies were employed to analyse crack propagation in the pre-notched specimens. In order to support experimental evidence, finite element computation was implemented to study the damage induced by the microstructural rearrangement of the filaments when subject to tensile loading. The findings revealed the simple linear correlation between the failure properties including elongation at break and maximum stress in relation to the printing angle for different pre-notch lengths. A more progressive damage was found to support the ultimate performance of the studied material. This experiment evidence was used to build a damage model of 3D-printed ABS that accounts for the onset, growth, and damage saturation. This damage modelling is able to capture the failure properties as a function of the printing angle using a sigmoid-like damage function and a modulation of the stiffness within the raster. The numerical results demonstrated that damage pattern develops as a result of the filament arrangement and weak adhesion between adjacent filaments and explains the diffuse damage kinetics observed experimentally. This study concludes with a topological law relating the notch size and orientation to the rupture properties of 3D-printed ABS. This study supports the idea of tailoring the microstructural arrangement to control and mitigate the mechanical instabilities that lead to the failure of 3D-printed polymers.
