“…For instance, the effect of the mechanical and biological properties of designed microporous scaffolds manufactured by commercial 3D printing technology was studied, and the results promoted the use of silica-based 3D printed scaffolds as viable candidates for further research in clinical applications [17,40]. Overall results support this technology providing an excellent technique to fabricate the small mechanical parts providing sufficient precision, which allows rapid modifications to be made during the process itself [41]. Besides, the efficiency of the process can be further improved by utilizing waste PLA as feedstock material, thereby minimizing the leftover waste PLA filaments [4,42].…”

Due to the significant properties of silica, thermostatics can be enhanced using silica-additives to maximize the quality of polymer compounds and transform plastics into tailored properties. The silica additives can enhance the handling and quality performance of composites and thermoplastic polymers due to their diverse potential. Besides, using silica as an additive in different characteristics can allow granulates and powders to flow easily, minimize caking, and control rheology. On the other hand, the eruption of 3D printing technology has led to a massive new waste source of plastics, especially the polylactic acid (PLA) that is associated with the fused deposition modeling (FDM) process. In this paper, the impact on the mechanical properties when silica is mixed with waste PLA from 3D printing was studied. The PLA/silica mixtures were prepared using different blends through twin extruders and a Universal Testing Machine was used for the mechanical characterization. The result indicated that increasing silica composition resulted in the increase of the tensile strength to 121.03 MPa at 10 wt%. Similar trends were also observed for the toughness, ductility, and the yield stress values of the PLA/silica blends at 10 wt%, which corresponds to the increased mechanical property of the composite material reinforced by the silica particles. Improvement in the mechanical properties of the developed composite material promotes the effective recycling of PLA from applications such as 3D printing and the potential of reusing it in the same application.

“…Moreover, the FFF is an excellent, affordable, traditional technology [ 100 ] that can be incorporated with antimicrobial material with different natural material to produce different engineering components [ 101 , 102 ]. Eventually, using antimicrobial material through the 3D printing technology must be evaluated [ 103 ] to predict the final product properties [ 104 ] as well as to explore the possibilities of the failure while being in service [ 105 ] through experimental investigation, and even could be achieved theoretically through simulation [ 106 ], especially we are dealing with composite reinforced with different types and material of particulates. Eventually, using antimicrobial material could be not feasible from the economic view point especially if used for bulky objects or parts, but antimicrobial material could be efficiently used by using the FFF technology to apply it on the top surface of the object that is potentially subjected to the contamination and this could be optimized using multilayered sandwich components [ 107 , 108 ] to reduce the quantity consumed.…”

Antimicrobial materials produced by 3D Printing technology are very beneficial, especially for biomedical applications. Antimicrobial surfaces specifically with enhanced antibacterial property have been prepared using several quaternary salt-based agents, such as quaternary ammonium salts and metallic nanoparticles (NPs), such as copper and zinc, which are incorporated into a polymeric matrix mainly through copolymerization grafting and ionic exchange. This review compared different materials for their effectiveness in providing antimicrobial properties on surfaces. This study will help researchers choose the most suitable method of developing antimicrobial surfaces with the highest efficiency, which can be applied to develop products compatible with 3D Printing Technology.

“…Several issues arise during printing, such as increased viscosity and fiber-matrix interface issues. Moreover, it has been observed that there is a lack in the studies related to the impact of implementing different internal 3D printing structures on the mechanical properties [ 80 ] of 3D printed fiber-reinforced composite as well as the influence of the open-source 3D printer [ 81 ] on the quality, consistency and the process capability [ 82 ] of the natural fiber 3D printed composite objects or using hybrid composite 3D printing technology enhanced with hard particles [ 83 ].…”

Current environmental concerns have led to a search of more environmentally friendly manufacturing methods; thus, natural fibers have gained attention in the 3D printing industry to be used as bio-filters along with thermoplastics. The utilization of natural fibers is very convenient as they are easily available, cost-effective, eco-friendly, and biodegradable. Using natural fibers rather than synthetic fibers in the production of the 3D printing filaments will reduce gas emissions associated with the production of the synthetic fibers that would add to the current pollution problem. As a matter of fact, natural fibers have a reinforcing effect on plastics. This review analyzes how the properties of the different polymers vary when natural fibers processed to produce filaments for 3D Printing are added. The results of using natural fibers for 3D Printing are presented in this study and appeared to be satisfactory, while a few studies have reported some issues.
