“…3DP utilizes different techniques for the manufacturing of prototypes. Such techniques include Inkjet printing, Fused deposition modeling (FDM), Powder-bed technology, Micro-stereolithography (MSL), Dynamic optical projection stereolithography (DOPsL), Direct-write assembly (DW), selective laser sintering (SLS), Solvent-cast 3DP (SC-3DP), Conformal 3DP (C-3DP), Two-photon polymerization (TPP), and UV-3DP, among others [10][11][12][13].…”

Additive manufacturing (AM)/3D printing (3DP) is a revolutionary technology which has been around for more than two decades, although the potential of this technique was not fully explored until recently. Because of the expansion of this technology in recent years, new materials and additives are being searched for to meet the growing demand. 3DP allows accurate fabrication of complicated models, however, structural anisotropy caused by the 3DP approaches could limit robust application. A possible solution to the inferior properties of the 3DP based materials compared to that of conventionally manufactured counterparts could be the incorporation of nanoparticles, such as carbon nanotubes (CNT) which have demonstrated remarkable mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. In this article we review some of the research, products, and challenges involved in 3DP technology. The importance of CNT dispersion in the matrix polymer is highlighted and the future outlook for the 3D printed polymer/CNT nanocomposites is presented.

“…There are very limited data published for the extrusion nozzle and various feed rates and translational printing speeds are used in other research, therefore, in this study we adopt a print nozzle similar to, but ten times smaller than, those used in short fibre injection moulding [26]. The feed rate of V 1 = 30 mm/s and printing speed of V 2 = 40 mm/s in a similar range as those used in [12,27]. In the current study, the 3D printing is assumed to be processed in a constant high temperature without any solidification.…”

This paper presents a new numerical approach for modelling the 3D printing process of fibre reinforced polymer composites by fused deposition modelling (FDM). The approach is based on the coupling between two particle methods, namely smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and discrete element method (DEM). The coupled SPH-DEM model has distinctive advantages in dealing with the free surface flow, large deformation of fibres, and/or fibre-fibre interaction that are involved in the FDM process. A numerical feasibility study is carried out to demonstrate its capability for both short and continuous fibre reinforced polymer composites, with promising results achieved for the rheological flow and fibre orientation and deformation.

“…In addition, colored gypsum material, artificial bone powder, cell biological materials, and food material such as granulated sugar, also have been applied in 3D printing (Leong et al 2003;Garcia et al 2012;Wang et al 2015;Tian et al 2016). However, there are also some disadvantages for the current 3D printing materials in terms of performance, cost, and environmental protection.…”

Plasticizer Combinations and Performance of Wood Flour–Poly(Lactic Acid) 3D Printing Filaments

2017

Wood flour-poly(lactic acid) 3D printing filaments were prepared via a melt extrusion method. Poplar wood flour and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) were used as raw materials, and different combinations of glycerol and tributyl citrate (TBC) (4% glycerol, 2% glycerol + 2% TBC, 4% TBC) were used as plasticizers. A 3D printer was used to print the filaments into standard test specimens with dimensions of 150 mm × 10 mm × 0.2 mm at the printing temperature of 220 °C. The performance of wood flour-poly(lactic acid) 3D printing filaments in terms of their interfacial compatibility, mechanical properties, melt index (MI), water absorption, and heat stability was tested under different plasticizer combinations. The results showed that under the condition of same dosage of plasticizer, the order of MI for the 3D printed filaments from high to low was 4% glycerol > 2% glycerol + 2% TBC > 4% TBC, which indicated that glycerol was more favorable for the extrusion processing of the composite filaments. However, in terms of compatibility, mechanical properties, water absorption, and thermal stability, the 3D printing filaments with 4% TBC showed better performance compared with other groups.
