“…Additive manufacturing processes involve models, patterns, prototypes, tools, and three-dimensional end products through the automated deposition of materials layer-by-layer. Nowadays, it is possible to manufacture elements composed of polymers [3], metals [4], and/or ceramics [5] with the required geometry according to a simple digital design. Thus, no special tools or pre-formed moulds are required for the construction of the final component, which significantly reduces the cost and speeds up the production process.…”

Additive manufacturing technology has attracted the attention of industrial and technological sectors due to the versatility of the design and the easy manufacture of structural and functional elements based on composite materials. The embedding of magnetic nanoparticles in the polymeric matrix enables the development of an easy manufacturing process of low-cost magnetically-active novel polymeric composites. In this work, we report a series of magnetic composites prepared by solution casting method combining 5 to 60 wt.% of 50 - 100 nm commercial Fe3O4 nanoparticles, with a semi-crystalline, biocompatible and biodegradable polymeric blend made of polylactic acid (PLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL). The composites were extruded, obtaining 1.5 mm diameter continuous and flexible filaments for fused deposition modelling 3D printing. The chemical, magnetic and calorimetric properties of the obtained filaments were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, magnetometry, and scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, taking advantage of the magnetic character of the filaments, their capability to generate heat under the application of low-frequency AC magnetic fields (magnetic induction heating) was analysed. The obtained results expose the versatility of these easy manufacturing and low-cost filaments, where selecting a desired composition, the heating capacity can be properly adjusted for those applications where magnetic induction plays a key role (i.e., magnetic hyperthermia, drug release, heterogeneous catalysis, water electrolysis, gas capture or materials synthesis).

“…Based on their characteristics, these technologies are generally classified into seven categories, all of which are discussed in more detail in the following section: binder jetting (BJ) (Do et al , 2017; Gonzalez et al , 2016); direct energy deposition (DED) (Stender et al , 2018; Javidani et al , 2017); material extrusion (ME) (Dhinakaran et al , 2020; Weng et al , 2016); material jetting (MJ)(Yap et al , 2017; Vdovin et al , 2017); powder bed fusion (PBF) (Khairallah et al , 2016; Allison et al , 2019); sheet lamination (SL) (Norfolk and Johnson, 2015; Qi Zhang, 2018; Bhatt et al , 2019); and vat polymerization (VP) (Bártolo and Gibson, 2011; Yang et al , 2019). Although some AM methods are mature, the AM industry is still thriving; many 3D printing processes are currently available, and more are emerging and developing, such as metal fused deposition modeling (metal FDM), ARBURG plastic freeforming and multi jet fusion (Ramazani and Kami, 2022; Mele et al , 2022; Avanzini et al , 2022). When selecting a 3D printing method for a specific application, decision-makers need to consider many aspects, such as mechanical, chemical and physical properties, 3D printers’ build volume, postprocessing, resolution, environmental impact, production time and cost.…”

Purpose Because of the significant differences in the features and requirements of specific products and the capabilities of various additive manufacturing (AM) solutions, selecting the most appropriate AM technology can be challenging. This study aims to propose a method to solve the complex process selection in 3D printing applications, especially by creating a new multicriteria decision-making tool that takes the direct certainty of each comparison to reflect the decision-maker’s desire effectively. Design/methodology/approach The methodology proposed includes five steps: defining the AM technology selection decision criteria and constraints, extracting available AM parameters from the database, evaluating the selected AM technology parameters based on the proposed decision-making methodology, improving the accuracy of the decision by adopting newly proposed weighting scheme and selecting optimal AM technologies by integrating information gathered from the whole decision-making process. Findings To demonstrate the feasibility and reliability of the proposed methodology, this case study describes a detailed industrial application in rapid investment casting that applies the weightings to a tailored AM technologies and materials database to determine the most suitable AM process. The results showed that the proposed methodology could solve complicated AM process selection problems at both the design and manufacturing stages. Originality/value This research proposes a unique multicriteria decision-making solution, which employs an exclusive weightings calculation algorithm that converts the decision-maker's subjective priority of the involved criteria into comparable values. The proposed framework can reduce decision-maker's comparison duty and potentially reduce errors in the pairwise comparisons used in other decision-making methodologies.

“…Most applications of metal 3D printing using material extrusion approaches require binders in the feeding materials formula to achieve consistency in printing performance. [ 15–17 ] This naturally creates more porosity extensively in the as‐printed parts than in DED or PBF approaches, usually requiring additional curing or sintering to enhance the mechanical performance of the parts.

Metal additive manufacturing plays a vital role in new generations of manufacturing. As one of the most used alloys, field's metal can be used in many applications such as mold fabrication, radiation shielding, and more. This research demonstrates the ability to fabricate functional parts using the field's alloy at the micron level. With the good thermal conductivity and low thermal negative thermal expansion coefficient, printing temperatures and printing speed are mapped for single layer printing at a given nozzle size for printing width and height performance stability optimization. Printing temperatures and printing speeds were optimized with the same evaluation criteria. Classic 3D printing challenges have been printed testing technology readiness including overhang, bridges, and infills. Varieties of 3D parts are fabricated and prove functional for computed tomography imagery marking tags and micro‐volume liquid capacitance measurements. It demonstrates that the capability of high‐resolution printing also improves the printing time efficiency when small features are not required.
