研究目的
To address the issue of mechanical property anisotropy in FFF-printed parts by improving inter-layer adhesion and tensile strength in the build direction using laser pre-deposition heating.
研究成果
Laser pre-deposition heating significantly improves the tensile strength and isotropy of FFF-printed Ultem 1010 parts by enhancing inter-layer adhesion through increased thermal relaxation, reptation, and entanglement of polymer chains.
研究不足
The study is limited to Ultem 1010 material and the effects of laser pre-deposition heating on its mechanical properties. The approach may require optimization for other materials and printing conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
An in-process laser local pre-deposition heating (LLPH) method was used to increase thermal relaxation at inter-layer interface for improvement of inter-layer adhesion.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
Black Ultem 1010 (PEI Ultem 1010 black) was used to print all testing samples. Material properties were given by 3DXTech.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
A high temperature 3D printing platform (Instamsys Funmat HT), Synrad laser source, optical fiber, collimator, tensile testing machine (MTI-2K), and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) were used.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
Samples were printed with varying laser power levels, removed immediately after printing, and tested for tensile strength. SEM was used to analyze fracture surfaces.
5:Data Analysis Methods
Tensile strength values were compared between laser pre-deposition heating samples and control samples. SEM images were analyzed for fracture morphology.
