Additive Manufacturing (AM), and more specifically Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), allow the production of highly customized parts, provide enormous freedom-of-design can lead to material savings due layer-by-layer deposition that is inherent this family processes. FFF utilizes both amorphous semi-crystalline thermoplastic filaments as feedstock materials, offering a wider range materials compared some other polymer-based additive manufacturing techniques. However, current trend where FFF,...
Although semi-crystalline polymers are associated with considerably better mechanical properties and thermal stability compared to their amorphous counterparts, using them as feedstock for Fused Filament Fabrication still poses some major challenges. Hence, the development of printed part crystallinity during printing should be fully understood in order control developed weld strength, well shrinkage warpage. Infrared thermography was utilized record history deposited layers while a...
One of the main drawbacks Fused Filament Fabrication is often-inadequate mechanical performance printed parts due to a lack sufficient interlayer bonding between successively deposited layers. The phenomenon becomes especially complex for semi-crystalline polymers, as, besides extremely non-isothermal temperature history experienced by extruded layers, ongoing crystallization process will greatly complicate its analysis. This work attempts elucidate possible relation degree crystallinity...
