“…Es importante aclarar que los resultados de los ANOVA se vieron afectados por la variabilidad de los datos experimentales, la cual depende de factores como la calidad de impresión, el método implementado para el cálculo del área transversal, los posibles errores instrumentales en los equipos de medición, la máquina de ensayos y en la calibración de las impresoras 3D que fueron empleadas para la fabricación de las probetas. A pesar de ello, los resultados obtenidos en este trabajo contribuyen a la ampliación de la base de datos existente en la literatura científica sobre las propiedades mecánicas y parámetros de impresión del PLA y el PCL, en especial para porcentajes de relleno bajos, pues la mayoría de trabajos emplean porcentajes de relleno mayores al 50% [10][11][12]. Adicionalmente, este trabajo reporta parámetros de impresión y propiedades mecánicas para un material de impresión experimental como el Lay-Fomm 40, cuya información actualmente es escasa y apenas empieza a ser reportado en la literatura científica [13].…”

“…Una de las principales problemáticas que presenta esta tecnología es la elección de los parámetros de impresión correctos de acuerdo con el material [6], ya que estos afectan las propiedades mecánicas y la capacidad de uso final de la pieza [7]. Se han realizado diferentes estudios en los que se analiza la dependencia de las propiedades mecánicas con los parámetros de impresión para piezas fabricadas con filamentos de acrilonitrilo butadieno estireno (ABS) y ácido poliláctico (PLA) [8][9][10][11], materiales poliméricos que son usados frecuentemente con este tipo de tecnología por ser los más estables [5].…”

This study aims to determine the mechanical properties of parts manufactured by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) using three biocompatible polymer materials: Polylactic Acid (PLA), Polycaprolactone (PCL) and Lay-Fomm 40. Also, it was analyzed the influence of different printing parameters, material selection, infill percentage, and raster angle, over the mechanical properties. The samples were subjected to tension and compression tests using a universal testing machine, and elastic modulus, yield stress, and ultimate stress were obtained from the stress-strain curves. PLA samples have the highest elastic modulus, yield stress and ultimate stress for both compression and tension tests, for example, the ultimate tensile stress with infill percentage of 30 % and raster angle of 0-90° has an average value of 41.20 MPa, while PCL samples had an ultimate tensile stress average value of 9.68 MPa. On the other hand, Lay-Fomm40 samples had the highest elongations, with percentage values between 300 and 600 %. Finally, ANOVA analysis showed that the choice of the material is the leading printing parameter that contributes to the mechanical properties, with percentages of 84.20% to elastic modulus, 93.30% to yield stress, and 82.44% to ultimate stress. The second important factor is the raster angle, with higher strengths for the 0-90° when compared to 45-135°. On the other hand, the contribution of the infill percentage to the mechanical properties was no statistically significant. The obtained results could be useful for material selection and 3D printing parameters definition for additive manufacturing of scaffolds, implants, and other structures for biomedical and tissue engineering applications.

“…Among the AM processes, the FDM process has become attractive to industries and the public due to its cheapness and simplicity. FDM printed products are widely used in automotive manufacturing, biomedicine, smart homes and actuators, stationery, and educational supplies . Generally, the mechanical properties of printed parts by FDM are weaker compared to plastic injection molding products because of the poor bonding and the presence of voids between raters and layers .…”

“…PLA‐based thermoplastic polymers are more commonly used in the FDM process because of their low melting temperature, non‐toxicity, desirable mechanical properties, and biocompatibility . The main purpose of this study is to experimentally investigate the thermal and mechanical properties of HTPLA that present higher strength and tensile modulus due to its semicrystalline structure compared to other thermoplastic polymers.…”

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is the trendiest threedimensional (3D) printing method among additive manufacturing technologies. In this process, the final parts are constructed through layer-by-layer adhesion of thermoplastic polymers. Amorphous thermoplastic polymers have better printability compared to semicrystalline ones; so, they are most popular with FDM users. Generally, the overall mechanical properties of FDM 3D printed parts are weaker in comparison to the traditional methods (such as injection molding) due to the weak bonds between the deposited rasters and layers. Therefore, the introduction of new materials with higher mechanical properties and easy printing process of the semicrystalline polymers has always been challenging to progress the mechanical properties of the products. In this study by the FDM process, the effect of nozzle temperature and heat treatment (annealing) on the mechanical properties of high-temperature polylactic acids is investigated. The increase in the nozzle temperature develops the rasters and layers bonding, and the heat treatment of the parts after printing rises the crystallinity percentage, which is crucial for the improvement of mechanical properties. Experimental results show that an increase in the nozzle temperature raises the tensile strength and modulus to 65.7 MPa and 4.97 GPa, respectively. Furthermore, the heat treatment process increases the tensile strength and modulus up to 67.4 MPa and 5.65 GPa. The final tensile modulus values are the highest ones reported for pure materials printed by the FDM process. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 60:979-987, 2020.

“…Based on the AM, the Fused deposition modeling (FDM) melts a spool of thermoplastic filament and extrudes it onto a platform to create tangible 3 dimensional parts [3]. Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) is the most extensively used material in FDM, and has been regarded as a promising material for its eco-friendly, biocompatible and processability [4]. However, its relatively hydrophobic and low degradable properties have limited its use [5].…”

In this work Macadamia nutshell (MS) was used as filler in fused deposition modeling (FDM) of Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) composites filaments. Composites containing MS both treated and untreated with alkali and silane were investigated by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetry (TG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the treated MS composites had better thermal stability. Furthermore, compression tests were carried out. The PLA with 10 wt% treated MS composite was found possessing the best mechanical properties which was almost equivalent to that of the pure PLA. Finally, porous scaffolds of PLA/10 wt% treated MS were fabricated. The scaffolds exhibited various porosities in range of 30–65%, interconnected holes in size of 0.3–0.5 mm, micro pores with dimension of 0.1–1 μm and 37.92–244.46 MPa of elastic modulus. Those values indicated that the FDM of PLA/MS composites have the potential to be used as weight lighter and structural parts.
