FDM-Based 3D Printing of Polymer and Associated Composite: A Review on Mechanical Properties, Defects and Treatments

Polymers, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 12(7), P. 1529 - 1529

Published: July 10, 2020

Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is one of the fastest-growing additive manufacturing methods used in printing fibre-reinforced composites (FRC). The performances resulting printed parts are limited compared to those by other due their inherent defects. Hence, effort develop treatment overcome these drawbacks has accelerated during past few years. main focus this study review impact defects on mechanical performance FRC and therefore discuss available eliminate or minimize them order enhance functional properties parts. As a combination polymer matrix material continuous short reinforcing fibres, will thoroughly both thermoplastic polymers FRCs via FDM technology, including effect parameters such as layer thickness, infill pattern, raster angle fibre orientation. most common parts, particular, void formation, surface roughness poor bonding between matrix, explored. An inclusive discussion effectiveness chemical, laser, heat ultrasound treatments provided review.
