Additive manufacturing (AM) has several advantages that will make a revolution in polymeric material development. In the AM of polymeric materials, filament deposition modeling (FDM) has been widely used owing to its versatility, low cost, and efficacy. FDM includes different parameters and also an interlayer adhesion that contributes to the performance of the printed parts. In recent years, reinforcement has been introduced in FDM‐printed polymeric materials to improve performance. This review looked at different polymer materials that were printed using the FDM process. A systematic literature search was conducted on FDM‐printed polymers, and the mechanical and thermal performance of these materials was reviewed and critically reported. The performance of FDM printed polymeric materials has been discussed in relation to FDM process parameters, matrix type, fiber reinforcement type, particle reinforcement type, and lattice structure. In a nutshell, this review article will assist researchers working in the field of 3D printing of polymeric materials in understanding the various polymer and polymeric composites' properties and performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
