“…The produced 3D printed sandwich beams considered in this study are investigated to figure out the impact of the infill pattern on performance and the failure of the 3D printed samples. An open-source slicing software 51 for 3D printing named "CURA 4.8 beta, released on Oct.2020." Ultimaker Cura works by slicing the user's model file into layers and generating a printer-specific G-code.…”

This paper aims to investigate experimentally and using finite element analysis the performance of using three-dimensional printing technology to produce a composite sandwich panel that is made of the high-flexible core as well as with high stiffness upper and lower surfaces made of a glass fiber reinforced composite filament. There are many advantages of using sandwich structures in many applications, especially the aerospace field, where the high stiffness to strength and the lightweight is the most preferred in such applications. The conventional manufacturing methods that are used to produce sandwich panels are limited to particular core geometry, whereas manufacturing a composite core is not possible by these traditional production methods. So by using additive manufacturing technology, it becomes more applicable to design a combination of different geometries and materials to achieve properties that have never been made before, especially combining flexibility and high energy absorption keeping high strength to failure. A central deflection to a length of 0.26 is observed within the elastic zone, a remarkable ratio in beams that reflects the three-dimensional printed sandwich beams’ capability with a highly flexible core to absorb energy that would open doors for many industrial applications that is attributed to the lowest flexural rigidity (167E-3Pa · m4) of the sandwich by using the TriHex infill pattern. In contrast, the Gyroid infill structure could afford the highest central load (0.264 kN). At the peak load applied on the sandwich beam, a maximum error of 5.4% is estimated by finite element analysis lower than the experimental values.

“…This is because the morphology of the internal structure, the thickness of the walls, and other characteristics inevitably have a strong effect on the properties of the produced component. Most of these parameters are chosen during the printing preparation phase by slicing software [ 12 , 13 ] and are directly managed by the printer, which produces the machine language needed to correctly move the nozzle. As a result, the designer does not actually have the necessary tools to predict the behavior of the final components before printing.…”

Three-dimensional printing technology using fused deposition modeling processes is becoming more and more widespread thanks to the improvements in the mechanical properties of materials with the addition of short fibers into the polymeric filaments. The final mechanical properties of the printed components depend, not only on the properties of the filament, but also on several printing parameters. The main purpose of this study was the development of a tool for designers to predict the real mechanical properties of printed components by performing finite element analyses. Two different materials (nylon reinforced with glass or carbon fibers) were investigated. The experimental identification of the elastic material model parameters was performed by testing printed fully filled dog bone specimens in two different directions. The obtained parameters were used in numerical analyses to predict the mechanical response of simple structures. Blocks of 20 mm × 20 mm × 160 mm were printed in four different percentages of a triangular infill pattern. Experimental and numerical four-point bending tests were performed, and the results were compared in terms of load versus curvature. The analysis of the results demonstrated that the purely elastic transversely isotropic material model is adequate for predicting behavior, at least before nonlinearities occur.
