Effect Of Fused Deposition Modeling (Fdm) 3d Printing On Properties Of Printed Polylastic Acid (Pla):- Ugochukwu, Samuel O
ABSTRACT
Biodegradable
materials have attracted much attention from researchers due to the pressing
need to reduce enduring waste worldwide. Various 3D printed parts were designed
and printed using polylastic acid (PLA) filament as feedstock. Various 3D
printed electrical parts were designed and printed using polylactic Acid
filament as feedstock. The parts were designed using Solid works and were
printed using an FDM 3D printer. An experimental test was carried out on
samples of the printed materials; Hardness, Differential scanning calorimetry,
Tensile strength, Flexural strength, Density,Thermalgravimetric analysis and
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (Ftir) were determined from the
experiment. Heating effect on PLA plastics affects the mechanical properties
ofthe material produce. The results gotten from the experiment were compared
with that ofthe standard values of each parameters. This development will solve
two major problems; plastic waste management and production of locally
manufactured 3D printing feedstock (which is presently the greatest challenge
of 3D printing in Nigeria). This innovation is particularly useful to
manufacturing firms and will reduce spare parts importation. Scraping of
machines/equipment due to non-availability of parts will also reduce considerably.
Thus, facilitating the achievement of sustainable development goals with
respect to industry, innovation and infrastructure.
