Abstract
3D printing is an emerging technology to construct complex geometry by adapting layer-by-layer addition technique from a 3-dimensional CAD model. Mass customization, freedom of design, and wastage minimization are the main advantages of Additive Manufacturing (AM) based 3D printing. 3D printing is currently used in many sectors worldwide, such as automotive, aerospace, agriculture, medical, electronics, and other household products. However, the usage of the AM technique is limited in large production sectors due to the limitation of the materials and properties of the produced parts. In this review, the different methods of 3D printing, the materials used in different processes, various fields of applications, and the properties of the different approaches are discussed. Also, the effect of process parameters such as layer thickness, nozzle temperature, platform temperature, printing speed, extruding rate, and layer height in 3d printing was reviewed. This will be helpful for furth...

Influence of Thermal Processing for 3D Printed Components
Materiale Plastice, 2022
In the medical field the additive manufacturing process by fused deposition modeling has gained a great importance given the ability to create complex, organic geometries, in a short time period and the possibility of high customization. By fused deposition process the part is created layer by layer and the resulting part is characterized by high anisotropy, dictated mostly by printing parameters. To alleviate the anisotropy and to study the mechanical behavior of the 3D printed parts thermal processing is used. The materials used as filament is a poly (lactic acid) with copper particles embedded for antibacterial purposes. Samples were 3D printed using a commercial printer, thermally processed and tested in compression. On the failed specimens fracture investigations were performed to understand mechanical behavior during compression. The mechanical characteristics showed improvement and the anisotropy decreased as the processing temperature increased, but the samples became brittl...

3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGIES IN VARIOUS APPLICATIONS
Industrial adoption of 3D Printing has been increasing gradually from prototyping to manufacturing of low volume customized parts. The need for customized implants like tooth crowns, hearing aids, and orthopedic-replacement parts has made the life sciences industry an early adopter of 3D Printing. Demand for low volume spare parts of vintage cars and older models makes 3D printing very useful in the automotive industry. It is possible to 3D print in a wide range of materials that include thermoplastics, thermoplastic composites, pure metals, metal alloys and ceramics. Right now, 3D printing as an end-use manufacturing technology is still in its infancy. But in the coming decades, and in combination with synthetic biology and nanotechnology, it has the potential to radically transform many design, production and logistics processes. 3D printing encompasses a wide range of additive manufacturing technologies. Each of these builds objects in successive layers that are typically about 0.1 mm thin. In basic terms there are four categories of 3D printers. Firstly we have printers that extrude a molten or otherwise semi-liquid material. Secondly, there are printers that solidify a photo curable resin. Thirdly, there are printers that bind or fuse the granules of a powder. And finally, there are printers that stick together cut sheets of paper, plastic or metal.
2013-Additive manufacturing technology, applications and
Additive manufacturing (AM) technology has been researched and developed for more than 20 years. Rather than removing materials, AM processes make three-dimensional parts directly from CAD models by adding materials layer by layer, offering the beneficial ability to build parts with geometric and material complexities that could not be produced by subtractive manufacturing processes. Through intensive research over the past two decades, significant progress has been made in the development and commercialization of new and innovative AM processes, as well as numerous practical applications in aerospace, automotive, biomedical, energy and other fields. This paper reviews the main processes, materials and applications of the current AM technology and presents future research needs for this technology.

Additive Manufacturing of Free Standing Structure from Thermally Cured Resins
2018
3D printing or Additive Manufacturing is a class of manufacturing processes for creating three-dimensional objects. In an additive manufacturing process, an object is fabricated by printing multilayers of material successively until the final desired size of an object is obtained. The 3D printing technology can be used for both rapid and functional prototyping as well as small batch production. Stereolithography, Selective Laser Sintering and Fused Deposition Modeling are three common technologies for 3D printing of plastics which employ photosensitive resins or thermoplastic materials as a printing material. Laser and heat are the energy sources in these technologies. In this research, a novel additive manufacturing technology using high intensity ultrasound as the energy source is introduced. Commercial thermally cured resin will be employed as a printing material. For a better understanding of developing a method for 3D printing of this kind of resin, the numerical analysis of th...

Energies, 2022
This study aims at showing the potential of additive manufacturing as a new processing route for designing future insulators in the building sector. Polycarbonate (PC) is studied as a possible candidate for designing these new insulators. This polymer offers several advantages, among them fire resistance and stability of its physical properties at high temperatures. The 3D printing of PC is attempted using fused deposition modelling technology. The printing temperature and infill rate are varied to achieve optimal mechanical and thermal characteristics. The results show that an optimal printing temperature of 280 • C is needed to achieve high tensile performance. In addition, thermal properties including thermal conductivity and effusivity increase with the increase of the infill rate in opposition to the thermal diffusivity decrease.

Thermal Expansion of Plastics Used for 3D Printing
Polymers
The thermal properties of parts obtained by 3D printing from polymeric materials may be interesting in certain practical situations. One of these thermal properties is the ability of a material to expand as the temperature rises or shrink when the temperature drops. A test experiment device was designed based on the thermal expansion or negative thermal expansion of spiral test samples, made by 3D printing of polymeric materials to investigate the behavior of some polymeric materials in terms of thermal expansion or contraction. A spiral test sample was placed on an aluminum alloy plate in a spiral groove. A finite element modeling highlighted the possibility that areas of the plate and the spiral test sample have different temperatures, which means thermal expansions or contractions have different values in the spiral areas. A global experimental evaluation of four spiral test samples was made by 3D printing four distinct polymeric materials: styrene-butadiene acrylonitrile, polyet...
