In the field of additive manufacturing, the field of research is still relatively young and not
fully developed due to the patents on the machinery, process, and materials posing a
roadblock to the new development of the field. This has changed in recent years due to the
field growing and the applications expanding. The first paper that is to be reviewed concerns
itself with the effect of several properties on ABS manufactured specimens through the use of
a fused deposition. The specimens used in this study are cylindrical specimens of consistent
size and external shape to not hinder any differences in the stress-strain curve. The properties
investigated in this paper are as follows: density of the specimen, this is tested through the
use of 5 degrees of filler percentage of which are 0%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 100%
respectively. The next property that is investigated is the filler pattern where the specimen
consisted either of the hone-comb or the rectangular patterns, the last property that is
investigated in this study is the printing orientation of 0 degrees, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees
respectively. The findings of this experiment are determined through several uniaxial
compressive stiffness, and compressive strength. Through the experiments conducted in the
study, the conclusion drawn is that rectangular shape printed specimens are relatively more
conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that the honeycomb-patterned specimens that
are printed in the longitudinal direction have a comparatively higher strength/mass ratio in
comparison to the rectangular-shaped specimens. The last conclusion to be drawn from this
study is that solid structures (as hypothesized in the study ) regardless of infill show the
The study that is reviewed concerns itself with the following parameters that are to be
investigated: layer thickness, post-curing time, and the build orientation of the model. The
technique of additive manufacturing used in this study is stereolithography (SLA for short),
this process concerns itself with a laser beam that initiates a chemical reaction in a vat of
prepared chemicals, through this chemical reaction, the liquid solidifies, and the build
platform is lowered where another layer is solidified. This process continues until the
specimen is completely built. The specimen shape is the characteristically prevalent bone
shape, which is commonly used for this type of study as it is ideal to test strain in universal
testing machines. The study concerns itself with 3 different build orientations:
investigated in this study are 50 and 100 µ m, after testing the different parameters against
one another, it is concluded that the behavior of the specimens does not show any large
differences, and therefore the study concludes that there is the little result obtained. The last
parameter that is investigated is the curing time, the study uses 4 different curing times and
discovers that there is a general increase of properties across the board when the curing time
is increased. The study repeated the same experiment with the following material: ABS, X-
Green, and S-PRO where the conclusions are relatively similar, with the build orientation
This article discusses the fatigue behavior of FDM specimens manufactured with Ultem
9085. For this, tensile bars are manufactured according to ASTM D638 in different build
orientations. Tests are performed in a range of pulsating tensile stresses, and S-N curves are
documented for different build orientations. In further tests, tensile bars were chemically
smoothed with chloroform vapor. Chemical smoothing reduces surface roughness and
increases the tensile strength of specimens in the upright build direction. Fatigue tests of
treatment time, the strength of the Z-direction can be increased from originally 43.5 MPa to
50.6 MPa. The cyclic loads of FDM test specimens in the pure tensile range show, at loads of
40% of the tensile strength, only 8272 ± 342 cycles for the X-direction, 8337 ± 1501 cycles
for the Y-direction, and 4170 ± 854 cycles for the Z-direction. Should at least 100,000 load
cycles be specified, then the occurring stresses should not be higher than approximately 12
MPa for the X- and Y-orientations and around 6.5 MPa for the Z-orientation. Because the
described results contain only information on the load level and load cycles up to failure,
there is still a need for more research on this subject. For this reason, the measuring data
already recorded will be further evaluated about the increase in elongation during the test to
generate information on the point in time when the crack forms. In some cases, high standard
deviations with chemically treated specimens are attributable to the simple test setup, with
manufacturing
Particle emission from fused-deposition modeling desktop 3D printers has raised concerns
regarding indoor personal health due to the increased accessibility of printers. For the first
process, which offers an insight into particle formation during extruder heating, standing-by
and during the printing process. Printing temperature and printing layer height demonstrates a
major effect on the ultra-fine particles emitted, while ABS filament color shows a minor
effect on the nanoparticle emissions. The local temperature and concentration of volatile
organic material emitted from the filament play an important role in the number of particles
formed, while printing duration and air change rate affect particle size, morphology, and
emission rate. The developed TGA method demonstrates the qualitative behavior of particle
emissions from the material under heating, which is approximately proportional to an FDM
printers’ particle emissions; facilitating increased repeatability, time, and cost efficiency for
printing material assessment. A new method that combines the measurement of real-time
particle size distributions with TGA of the printing filament has been successfully developed
to understand particle formation. Extrusion and TGA heating temperatures were performed to
characterize the particle emissions in terms of number, size, and morphology. A maximum
particle emission rate of 5.16 × 1010 #/min is observed with an average emission rate of 1.01
× 1010 #/min for short-duration printing. Overall, printing temperature has the most
significant effect on particle emission rate. The developed TGA method provides information
on the behavior of particulate emissions of the filament materials under heating. It could be
particles without the time and cost implications associated with repeated 3D printing. Whilst
manufacturing variables are crucial parameters to explore, TGA provides a methodology for
the qualitative assessment of materials against printing temperatures as well as contributing to
experiments, including the evaluation of the applicability of the TGA method to other types
of filament. [12]
The review investigated the capability of bio-motivated infill designs for added substance
production. All infill designs are chosen roused naturally. Two significant targets specifically
material utilization and compressive strength for chosen boundaries layer thickness, construct
direction, infill designs with differing densities have been examined. The FDM machine is
utilized for test manufacture which is additionally tried to concentrate on the compressive
strength and feedstock material utilization. The outcomes show that the example with 80%
infill gyroid design at 0.2 mm layer thickness and 90° develop direction gives the
compressive fortitude near the strong aspect of acrylic butadiene styrene material. The
discoveries of the current review can help originators of savvy designs to acquire high
solidarity to-weight proportion in mechanical parts. The gyroid design with 80% infill, least
layer thickness, and 45-degree development direction give the most elevated compressive
fortitude among all chosen blends of boundaries. The connection between the two chosen
goals as for their boundaries is additionally settled through the Pareto graph. The Pareto
graph can assist with getting the greatest mechanical strength with the least assets utilization.
The current work can be reached out to examine mechanical properties other than
The melt flow behavior (MFB) influences the nature of the framework which relies not just
upon the strain angle, its speed, and the temperature slopes but also on the actual properties
like the dissolving temperature and rheology. The MFB is concentrated on utilizing precise
channel math by changing fiber speed at the section and by fluctuating spout widths and
points at the exit. The relative consequences of both numerical displaying and FEA propose
that the tension drop and the speeds of the softened stream rely upon the stream channel
boundaries. One induction specifically noteworthy is the temperature inclination of the PCL
soften, which shows that it condenses inside 35% of the channel length. These outcomes are
important to all the more likely comprehend the MFB of biomaterials that influences the
nature of the platform assembled through FDM and can likewise be utilized to foresee the
MFB of other biomaterials. Taking everything into account, the soften stream conduct (MFB)
of PCL in the liquefy stream channel of the FDM has been researched by concentrating on
the warm way of behaving, pressure drops, and the speed slopes. [11]

additives
forestalling the expansion of organic variables, drugs, bioactive mixtures, and so forth, during
(PLA) platform was created by FDM, trailed by the installation of a polycaprolactone (PCL)
framework into the pores of the PLA at room temperature, yielding a PLA-PCL framework.
FDM-created PLA framework capacities as the underlying part, though the installed PCL
platform goes about as the utilitarian part, which gives the capacity to functionalize the
platforms with the ideal compound or organic materials. The implanting system is clear,
savvy, and doesn't need complexity. A mechanical portrayal of the platforms proposes that
Young's modulus of the PLA-PCL framework (16.02 MPa) was higher than that of the FDM-
created PLA (9.98 MPa) platform, by the goodness of the installed PCL grid. Likewise, the
limited component investigation showed that the von Mises weight on a mandible with
frameworks was 4.04 MPa, while for a mandible with imperfection, it was 6.7 MPa,
affirming the pressure dispersion effectiveness and mechanical security of these platforms. A
PLA-PCL platform was created by installing a permeable PCL framework into the pores of
an FDM-PLA platform, through a clear and basic inserting process. From the mechanical
review, the study found that the PLA-PCL, PLA-PCL-nHAP, and PLA-PCL-MWCNT
frameworks had a higher Young's modulus, contrasted with the PLA-printed platform.
Furthermore, FEA uncovered that all gatherings of platforms diminished von Mises pressure,
inferring their mechanical strength. Besides, in vitro investigation with human osteoblasts
showed uniform mineralization, affirming the osteoconductive idea of the frameworks. To
finish up, this effortless and savvy model assists with defeating the deficiencies of FDM, with
nanoparticles, and other polymeric materials appropriate for bone-tissue designing. Also, this
model beats the troubles of assembling added substance fibers for FDM, which is tedious and
costly, by giving a method for consolidating any ideal added substances at predefined

The broadband engrossing property of the retaining material has been quite possibly the main
properties of the engrossing material. In this paper, broadband radar retaining materials were
ready by the immediate circuit statement demonstrating. Right off the bat, the printing line
made of CIPs and the hot dissolve plastic was manufactured utilizing the mechanical soften
blending process. Then, at that point, the line property was tried utilizing the vibrating test
magnetometer and X-beam diffraction machine, the electromagnetic boundary was estimated
utilizing the vector network analyzer E8363C in the recurrence 2-18 GHz. Afterward, the
high focus weakening to the low fixation rule is checked by the transmission/reflection
coefficient strategy, in which the unit occasional cluster design of the safeguard was laid out
to mimic the reflectivity at the CST programming stage. Involving the hereditary calculation
for the multi-facet retaining materials, advancement boundaries of each layer with the
thickness and the permeable expansion extent were laid out. The test results show that the
retaining material has superb engrossing execution in 2-18 GHz, the bandwidth can arrive at
almost 15 GHz as the RL was beneath than - 8 dB with a thickness of just 2.8 mm. [14]
Paper 9: Recycling Polymer Blend made from Post-used Styrofoam and Polypropylene
Fused Deposit Modeling (FDM) has turned into a progressive assembling innovation as it
offers various benefits, including the opportunity of creation, mass customization, quick
the FDM process. The present status of material turn of events, the reused plastic material
additionally can be utilized as printing material for FDM machine. Extended polystyrene
(EPS) has been widely utilized as bundling materials for some ventures yet seldom be reused,
transportation. This examination intended to use EPS waste and transform it into FDM
polystyrene (rPS) produced using EPS squander by mixing it with polypropylene (PP).
Various proportions of rPS/PP mixes were ready and expelled into FDM fiber utilizing a fiber
extruder. The planned fibers were printed into an example utilizing an FDM machine. This
exploration observed the fiber produced using rPS/PP mixes can be printed into examples
with great printing quality if the spout temperature is controlled at 240° C with a 120 %
expulsion rate. With this printing boundary, the example printed with rPS/PP mix fiber
display the best attachment between the kept layers with no noticeable voids or holes.
Additionally, the printed example with rPS/PP mixes has lower rigidity, however higher
tractable modulus when contrasted with the printed example with perfect rPS. The expansion
of more PP diminished both rigidity and modulus of rPS/PP mixes. Then again, the rPS/PP
mixes have higher warm security as the PP content expanded. Generally speaking, the rPS/PP
mixes fiber shows an extraordinary potential as a feedstock material for FDM manufacture.

Paper 10: Mechanical characterization of FDM 3D printing of continuous carbon fiber
industrial applications. In this study, an innovative extruder is designed and manufactured for
composites. There are some challenges along this way such as making tension in fiber, fiber
surface preparation, printing temperature, and feed rate to produce a composite part with
good quality. The main advantage of this extruder is that it can be mounted on the available
FDM 3D printers and consequently there is no need to design a new chassis. To assess the
quality of products, standard tensile and three-point bending specimens made of pure
polylactic acid and carbon fiber reinforced PLA are printed and tested under quasi-static
loading. Experimental results show significant improvements in the tensile and bending
properties of PLA. Morphological analysis is also conducted to study the bonding between
Paper 11: Comprehensive investigation and prediction model for mechanical properties
The experimental investigation was carried out according to the ASTM standards at different
infill densities and five different infill patterns. The obtained results proved that concentric
infill pattern accompanied by 75% infill percentage achieved the most outstanding tensile and
bending behavior. For compression testing, a grid infill pattern accompanied by a 75% infill
percentage exhibits maximum compression properties. Overall, the octagram spiral infill
pattern shows the weakest properties among all the infill patterns. The experimental results
were further analyzed using response surface methodology to identify the effectiveness of
predict the desired mechanical properties concerning the variation of infill patterns and
percentages. In conclusion, the tensile test results showed that infill pattern, infill percentage,
and interaction effect of infill pattern and percentage significantly affect the UTS, elastic

for instant on-demand production of immediate-release tablets via FDM 3D printing. In vitro,
drug release studies for all 3D printed tablets were conducted in a USP II dissolution
apparatus. Bridging the 3D printing process with HME in the presence of a thermostable
110°C. The integrity of the two model drugs was maintained following HME and FDM 3D
printing. XRPD indicated that a portion of the loaded theophylline remained crysthor one in
the tablet. The fabricated tablets demonstrated excellent mechanical properties, acceptable in-
batch variability, and an immediate in vitro release pattern. Combining the advantages of
PVP as an impeding polymer with FDM 3D printing at low temperatures, this approach holds
the potential in expanding the spectrum of drugs that could be used in FDM 3D printing for
It is discovered in this study that there exist two different failure modes and a special
separation angle which is the demarcation point of the two different failure modes when
FDM 3D printing materials fail under a tensile load. To further understand the mechanical
properties of FDM 3D printing materials and promote the use of FDM 3D printing materials,
their tensile failure strengths at different printing angles and separation angles are measured
model is established to predict the tensile failure strength and separation angle of FDM 3D
printing PLA material based on the hypothesis of transverse isotropy and the classical
separate-modes failure criterion. During this research, the tensile specimens designed
according to the current test standard ISO for plastic-multi-purpose specimens are fabricated
in 7 different printing angles and three levels of printing layer thickness. Meanwhile, inter-
layer failure tends to occur when the printing angle is small and in-layer failure tends to occur
The mechanical properties can be enhanced by studying the numerous FDM parameters and
by using new materials. In this study, was studied the mechanical properties of tensile
strength, flexural strength, and impact energy of 3D printed parts manufactured with FDM
technology and PLA-graphene raw material by varying the infill and layer thickness
parameters using a statistical technique CCD—central composite design. The results showed
that the mechanical properties improve as the linear layer thickness parameter increases. The
mechanical properties, tensile strength, and flexural strength increased as the infill increased,
while impact energy decreased as the infill increased. The relationship between mechanical
properties and printing time/weight was also evaluated. So the theoretical model based on the
in this research is suitable for the failure of FDM 3D printing PLA material and has the
capacity in predicting the tensile failure strength of this material. The theoretical model is
shown to be able to approximately predict the range of separation angle of this FDM 3D
printing PLA material. Two different failure modes are discovered in the tensile experiments.
Inter-layer failure mode occurs when the pointing angle is small while in-layer failure mode
occurs when the pointing angle is big. The tensile failure strength of this FDM 3D printing
PLA material with the same printing angles becomes bigger as its layer thickness decreases
thermolabile drugs’
The objective of this study was to print low-melting and thermolabile drugs by reducing the
FDM printing temperature. Two immediate release polymers, Kollidon VA64 and Kollidon
12PF were investigated as potential candidates for low-temperature FDM printing. Ramipril
was used as the model low melting temperature drug; to the authors’ knowledge, this is the
lowest melting point drug investigated to date by FDM printing. Filaments loaded with 3%
drug were obtained by hot-melt extrusion at 70 °C and ramipril printlets with a dose
equivalent of 8.8 mg were printed at 90 °C. Variable temperature Raman and solid-state
nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques were used to evaluate drug stability over
the processing temperature range. The use of the excipients Kollidon VA64 and Kollidon
12PF in FDM was further validated by printing with the drug 4-aminosalicylic acid, which in
previous work was reported to undergo degradation in FDM printing, but here it was found to
be stable. This work demonstrates that the selection and use of new excipients can overcome
one of the major disadvantages in FDM printing, drug degradation due to thermal heating,
making this technology suitable for drugs with lower melting temperatures. [8]
