Human exposure to metals in consumer-focused fused filament fabrication (FFF)/ 3D printing processes. [PDF]
Fused filament fabrication (FFF) or 3D printing is a growing technology used in industry, cottage industry and for consumer applications. Low-cost 3D printing devices have become increasingly popular among children and teens. Consequently, 3D printers are increasingly common in households, schools, and libraries. Because the operation of 3D printers is

A Review on Reinforcement Methods for Polymeric Materials Processed Using Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). [PDF]
Over the last few years, fused filament fabrication (FFF) has become one of the most promising and widely used techniques for the rapid prototyping process. A number of studies have also shown the possibility of FFF being used for the fabrication of functional products, such as biomedical implants and automotive components. However, the poor mechanical

The Surface Characterisation of Fused Filament Fabricated (FFF) 3D Printed PEEK/Hydroxyapatite Composites [PDF]
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer which has found increasing application in orthopaedics and has shown a lot of promise for ‘made-to-measure’ implants via additive manufacturing approaches. However, PEEK is bioinert and needs to undergo surface modification to make it at least osteoconductive to ensure a more rapid,

Design of a Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D-printer
A Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D-printer was designed, for fabrication by using in part locally sourced materials. The printer design was based on the Replicating Rapid Prototyper (RepRap) open source. The print volume of the printer is 200mm × 200mm × 300mm and it uses the Melzi V2 printer control board, coupled with the ...

Mechanical properties of thermoplastic polymers in fused filament fabrication (
Abstract Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is a method used to fabricate initial prototypes out of polymeric materials, with printed parts often being used as load‐carrying elements. The mechanical properties of various polymer materials produced under certain printing conditions exhibit superior strength and ductility and may serve as
