3D printing: Overview of PLA progress

Abstract: This review provides a brief discussion about how additive manufacturing works, together with its strength and limitations. Fundamental aspects of FDM including the working mechanism, processing parameters have been reported. This study emphasizes on the progress of Polylactic acid (PLA) utilizing FDM and looks at the opportunity it offers as an advance material when integrated with filler compounds forming potential composites. A summary on the recent developments of PLA composites have been included, also el… Show more

“…Considering many scientific communications and the outcomes of discussions with different actors involved in the development of 3D objects during the pandemic, we summarize some main technical points that should be considered for the development of printed objects during similar times. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) [ 72 , 73 ] is the most common 3D printing technology among the global maker community and researchers, due to its printing speed, its relative low-cost of use and its low investment costs, and its ease of use compared to other polymer printing technologies ( e.g. resin-based) such as SLA (selective layer adhesion), DLP (digital light processing), SLS (selective layer adhesion), PolyJet and binder jetting [74] .…”
