Secondary use of ABS co-polymer recyclates for the manufacture of structural elements using the FFF technology

Abstract: Purpose The aim of this paper is presenting a new application of material obtained from the acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) recycling process from electronic equipment housings. Elements of computer monitors were used to prepare re-granulate, which in turn was used to manufacture a filament for fused filament fabrication (FFF) additive manufacturing technology. Design/methodology/approach The geometry of test samples (i.e. dumbbell and bar) was obtained in accordance with the PN-EN standards. Samples m… Show more

“…A high value of this material feature seem to have stemmed from the beneficial parameters adapted to layering the filament in the FFF technology. In this case, previous own experience has been used [34]. Despite the fact that the formerly mentioned technological voids in the structure of the ABS specimen have occurred, the registered images of the fractures confirm the fact that the consecutive threads and layers are packed and melted well (Fig.…”

“…The literature gives a great deal of information on the secondary use of ABS recyclates obtained by injection molding mainly. However, there are also known attempts undertaken to process ABS electronic equipment waste into the material enabling its re-use as an input material for the fused filament fabrication [34]. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of reports on the attempts at managing the ABS terpolymer waste obtained from industry 3D printers in order to produce filament.…”

“…Along with recycling, design approaches based on topology optimization can be synergically used to reduce the waste of plastics taking advantage of AM technologies 3 . For these reasons, recycled polymer materials for 3D printing became recently available, such as recycled linear low‐density polyethylene (rLLDPE), 4 acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (rABS), 5–8 polycarbonate (rPC), 9 polypropylene (rPP), 10,11 polyethylene terephthalate (rPET), 12 or polylactic acid (rPLA). 8,13–15 …”

“…Additive manufacturing technologies, as opposed to conventional technologies for producing elements from polymer materials, are characterized by high surface roughness. This phenomenon is caused by the layered deposition of plasticized material [1]. The side walls of the produced model have grooves where the layers meet, which is caused by the geometry of the nozzle outlet [2].…”
