There is limited knowledge about energy and carbon emission performance comparison between additive fused deposition modeling (FDM) consolidation plastic injection molding (PIM) forming techniques, despite their recent high industrial applications such as tools fixtures. In this study, developed empirical models focus on the production phase of polylactic acid (PLA) thermoplastic polyester life...

Accurately predicting the surface finish of fused deposition modeling (FDM) parts is an important task for engineering application FDM technology. So far, many prediction models have been proposed by establishing a mapping relationship between printing parameters and roughness. Each model can work well in its specific context; however, existing cannot meet requirements multi-factor multi-catego...

Purpose Fused deposition modeling (FDM) draws particular attention due to its ability fabricate components directly from a CAD data; however, the mechanical properties of produced pieces are limited. This paper aims present experimental aspect multi-scale damage analysis and fatigue behavior polylactic acid (PLA) manufactured by FDM. The main purpose this is analyze effect extruder temperature ...

Smart structures have the advantages of high system integrity and diverse sensing capabilities. However, labor-intensive time-consuming fabrication process hinders large-scale adoption smart structures. Despite recent attempts to develop sensor-embedded using 3D printing technologies, reported generally suffer from complex process, constrained part size, limited modality. Herein, we propose a w...

When printing a plate (or dish) by an FDM 3D printer, the process normally requires support material, which causes several problems. This paper proposes a method for forming thin plates without using wasteful support material. This method requires several extraordinary parameter values when slicing plates. The experiments show that the plates can, for the most part, be successfully formed using...

Three-dimensional (3D) printers have been applied in many fields, including engineering and the medical sciences. In the pharmaceutical field, approval of the first 3D-printed tablet by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2015 has attracted interest in the manufacture of tablets and drugs by 3D printing techniques as a means of delivering tailor-made drugs in the future. In current study, ...

OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a method for creating realistic, patient specific replicas of cerebral aneurysms by means of fused deposition modeling. METHODS The luminal boundaries of 10 cerebral aneurysms, together with adjacent proximal and distal sections of the parent artery, were segmented based on DSA images, and corresponding virtual three-dimensional (3D) surface reconstructions w...

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a rapidly growing 3D printing technology. However, printing materials are restricted to acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) or poly (lactic acid) (PLA) in most Fused deposition modeling (FDM) equipment. Here, we report on a new high-performance printing material, polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK), which could surmount these shortcomings. This paper is devoted to...
