Abstract:
Acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) filled with 6 wt.% of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and graphene nanoplatelets was extruded in filaments and additively manufactured via fused deposition modeling (FDM). The electrical conductivity and electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency (EMI SE) in the frequency range between 8.2 and 12.4 GHz of the resulting 3D samples were assessed. For comparison purposes, compression molded samples of the same composition were investigated. Electrical conductivity of about 10−4 S·cm−1 and attenuations of the incident EM wave near 99.9% were achieved for the 3D components loaded with multi-walled carbon nanotubes, almost similar to the correspondent compression molded samples. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of ABS composite filaments show that graphene nanoplatelets were oriented along the polymer flow whereas multi-walled carbon nanotubes were randomly distributed after the extrusion process. The electrical conductivity and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties of compression molded and FDM manufactured samples were compared and discussed in terms of type of fillers and processing parameters adopted in the FDM process, such as building directions and printing patterns. In view of the experimental findings, the role of the FDM processing parameters were found to play a major role in the development of components with enhanced EMI shielding efficiency.

Abstract:
Patterns made from conventional wax materials in the Investment Casting (IC) process can easily be distorted, damaged, or broken in transportation or routine handling or due to exposure to heat. Alternatively, the strength and toughness of most Rapid Prototyping (RP) materials virtually eliminates this drawback due to their resistance to heat, humidity, and post curing. The current study is conducted to investigate the feasibility of using RP processes such as FDM and MJM to fabricate IC patterns from Acrylonitrile Butadine Styrene (ABS) and acrylate based materials respectively to be used directly in IC process. Evaluation of the effects of different internal pattern designs of the RP parts are conducted based on the thermal analysis approach and burnout properties of the RP patterns. Ceramic shell molds are fabricated on both RP patterns and subsequently placed in an oven which is gradually heated to 1000°C. The decomposition temperature and the residual ash of the RP pattern materials is determined and analyzed. Results show that the acrylate pattern ofMJMdecomposes rapidly compared to the ABS pattern from the FDM process. It is also observed that quasi and square hollow internal structures show better collapsibility or burnout properties, with no cracks, compared to cross pattern and cross hatch designs.

Abstract:
The mechanical properties of a product made in Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) rapid prototyping are strongly dependant on process parameters selected during part fabrication. Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is a common material used in FDM systems. The advantages of ABS include high strength and rigidity with toughness and these properties make it one of the most common thermoplastics used in engineering applications. This paper describes an experimental investigation of dynamic stressstrain response of ABS parts made by fused deposition modelling for three different part build orientations. Currently there is limited research available for this aspect of ABS material processed by FDM systems. The high strain rate compression tests were performed using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar apparatus to determine the dynamic stress-strain response and results were compared with quasi-static behaviour of the same specimens.

Abstract:
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of the thirty techniques of rapid prototyping methods that produce prototypes from polymer materials (natural or with different grades). Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is one of the good material among all polymer materials. It is used in the layer by layer manufacturing of the prototype which is in the semi-molten plastic filament form and built up on the platform from bottom to top. In FDM, one of the critical factor is to select the built up orientation of the model since it affects the different areas of the model like main material, support material, built up time, total cost per part and most important the mechanical properties of the part. In view of this, objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of the built-up orientation on the mechanical properties and total cost of the FDM parts. Experiments were carried out on STRATASYS FDM type rapid prototyping machine coupled with CATALYST software and ABS as main material. Tensile and Impact specimens were prepared as per the ASTM standard with different built-up orientation and in three geometrical axes. It can be concluded from the experimental analysis that built orientation has significant affect on the tensile, impact and total cost of the FDM parts. These conclusions will help the design engineers to decide on proper build orientation, so that FDM parts can be fabricated with good mechanical properties at minimum manufacturing cost.

Abstract:
The environment seems to have an effect on Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) which consequently causes physical, morphological and thermal stability changes to the polymer. Not only that, these changes may have caused nozzle blockage on the liquefier of the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) rapid prototyping machine. Experiments are conducted to support and verify whether ABS does affect the blockage. It has been observed that physical changes may have not caused nozzle clogging.

Abstract:
Investment casting has emerged as the foremost casting process for manufacturing of complex parts where better dimensional accuracy is required. Rapid Prototyping (RP) technologies is able to manufacture prototypes from various modelling materials. Stratasys Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is a typical RP process that can fabricate prototypes from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) used in investment casting process. Elimination of steps in mould making required in the traditional pattern wax preparation makes it quicker and a cost effective process. This paper characterises the behaviour of two proximal humerus ABS pattern constructions, namely solid and hollow fabricated by the FDM 2000 during flash dewaxing process. The dewaxing process parameters such as, temperature and time were regulated and the remaining weight of ABS material in the ceramic mould was examined.

Abstract:
Today's commercial rapid prototyping systems (i.e., solid freeform fabrication, layered manufacturing) rely on human intervention to load and unload build jobs. Hence, jobs are processed subject to both the machine's and the operator's schedules. In particular, first-in-first-out (FIFO) queuing of such systems will result in machine idle time whenever a build job has been completed and an operator is not available to unload that build job and start up the next one. These machine idle times can significantly affect the system throughput, and, hence, the effective cost rate. This thesis addresses this problem by rearranging the job queue to minimizing the machine idle time, subject to the machine's and operator's schedules. This is achieved by employing a general branch-and-bound search method, that, for efficiency, reduces the search space by identifying contiguous sequences and avoiding reshuffling of those sequences during the branching procedure. The effectiveness of this job scheduling optimization has been demonstrated using a sequence of 30 jobs extracted from the usage log for the FDM 1600 rapid prototyping system in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Virginia Tech.

Abstract:
Rapid prototyping systems have advanced significantly with respect to material capabilities, fabrication speed, and surface quality. However, build jobs are still manually activated one at a time. The result is non-productive machine time whenever an operator is not at hand to make a job changeover. A low-cost auxiliary system, named Continuous Layered Manufacturing (CLM), has been developed to automatically load and unload the FDM 1600 rapid prototyping system (Stratasys, Inc.). The modifications made to the FDM 1600 system are minimal. The door to the FDM 1600 build chamber is removed, and the .SML build files that are used to drive the FDM 1600 are modified at both ends to facilitate synchronized operation between the two systems. The CLM system is capable of running three consecutive build jobs without operator intervention. As long as an operator removes finished build jobs, and adds new build trays before at most every three build jobs, the FDM can operate near indefinitely. The impact of the CLM system on the productivity of the FDM 1600 rapid prototyping system is demonstrated by the expected reduction from the customary eight weeks down to a future three and one-half weeks required to complete the typical forty build jobs during a semester in the course ME 4644 Introduction to Rapid Prototyping at Virginia Tech.

Abstract:
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of the emerging rapid prototyping (RP) processes in additive manufacturing. FDM fabricates the quality prototype directly from the CAD data and is dependent on the various process parameters, hence optimization is essential. In the present chapter, process parameters of FDM process are analyzed using an integrated MCDM approach. The integrated MCDM approach consists of modified fuzzy with ANP methods. Experimentation is performed considering three process parameters, namely layer height, shell thickness, and fill density, and corresponding response parameters, namely ultimate tensile strength, dimensional accuracy, and manufacturing time are determined. Thereafter, optimization of FDM process parameters is done using proposed method. The result shows that exp.no-4 yields the optimal process parameters for FDM and provides optimal parameters as layer height of 0.08 mm, shell thickness of 2.0 mm and fill density of 100%. Also, optimal setting provides higher ultimate TS, good DA, and lesser MT as well as improving the performance and efficiency of FDM.

Abstract:
Prototyping is the process of building pre-production models of a product to test various aspects of its design. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a process for developing rapid prototype (RP) objects by depositing fused layers of material according to numerically defined cross sectional geometry. The quality of FDM produced parts is significantly affected by various parameters used in the process. This paper aims to study the effect of one such parameter i.e., build orientation, on mechanical properties (mainly tensile and compressive strength) of FDM processed parts. In rapid prototyping (FDM), the orientation of the parts during fabrication is critical as it can affect part strength such as tensile and compressive strength. Specimens are prepared for tensile/compression test as per ASTM standards. It was found that the build orientation of the specimen has more of an impact on strength. The layering build process of rapid prototyping creates a variance in strength depending on the build orientation. The D695 standard allows for stable compression testing and is used for compression testing. Several geometries are allowed for tension specimens under the D638 standard. We chose the type I specimen as it is the most commonly used and best fit our mechanical testing equipment. From the tensile test result, it is found that when build orientation is increasing from 0° to 90°, ultimate tensile strength decreases. It is maximum at 0° orientation i.e., 15.2 MPa and minimum at 90° orientation i.e., 11.6 MPa. The tensile stress at 0° (i.e. axial direction) is 23.68 % higher than transverse direction (i.e., 90°). From the compressive test results, it is found that, when sample orientation is increasing from 0° to 90°, the ultimate compressive strength decreases. It is maximum at 0° orientation i.e., 26.66 MPa and minimum at 90° orientation i.e., 22.22 MPa. The compressive stress at 0° (i.e. axial direction) is 16.65 % higher than transverse direction (i.e. 90°).

Abstract:
In this paper, we present two additive manufacturing applications: (1) vacuum forming tooling using AM; (2) rocket functional prototype using AM for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and wind-tunnel testing. The first application shows how additive manufacturing (AM) facilitates the manufacture of vacuum formed parts, which allows such parts to be easily produced especially in the manufacturing sector. We show how combining the advantages of the CAD and FDM technology, vacuum forming can be completed quickly, efficiently and cost effectively. The paper shows that using modified build parameters, the tools FDM creates can be inherently porous, which eliminates the time needed for drilling vent holes that are necessary for other vacuum forming tools, while improving part quality with an evenly distributed vacuum draw. Using SolidWorks CAD software, the model of the tool is created. The STL file is exported to the Insight software, and we present how the Tool Paths Custom Group feature is applied to optimize the tool-paths file and then sent to the FDM system that prints the tooling from ABS engineering thermoplastic. The tooling is then used in the Formech 686 manual vacuum forming machine to produce the vacuum formed part. The second application shows how additive manufacturing (AM) has been applied to producing functional model for wind–tunnel testing, as well as providing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool for comparing results obtained from the wind-tunnel testing. The present work is focused on applications of FDM technology for manufacturing wind tunnel test models. The CAD model of a rocket was analyzed for its aerodynamic properties and its functional prototype produced using AM for use in wind–tunnel testing so as to verify and tune the aerodynamic properties. Initial wall conditions were defined for the rocket in terms of the air velocity. The flow simulation was carried out and the goals examined are the velocity and pressure fields around the rocket model. The paper examines some practical issues that arise between how the model geometry for CDF process differs from that that of the FDM process. Consequently, we show that AM-based fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology is faster, less expensive and more efficient than traditional manufacturing processes for vacuum forming and for rapid prototyping of function models for wind-tunnel applications.

Abstract:
This paper examines the use of a trispiral hinge in compliant mechanisms generated by low cost, ABS-based, rapid prototyping machines. Hinges are examined to establish relationships between hinge geometry parameters (core radius, spiral angle, spiral pitch, and spiral thickness) and hinge performance (in-plane rotation, off-axis stability). A number of joint parameter combinations are found that provide good joint rotation characteristics with minimal off-axis instability. These joints allow for joint rotations up to ±90 degrees from a neutral position with little parasitic motion during the rotation. The implementation of these joints is further examined through the building and testing of fully compliant mechanisms based on the Roberts and Hoeken approximate straight-line mechanism geometries. The fully compliant mechanisms are shown to have the ability to closely recreate the approximate straight-line motion of the equivalent 4-bar chains. As such, the trispiral joint provides promise as a joint type that can be used effectively in conjunction with fused deposition modeling (FDM) machines that use ABS as the build material.

Additive manufacturing technology is a process of joining materials to make objects from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer, contrary to conventional manufacturing technologies, which mostly use subtractive process. The technology has developed from the earlier days of rapid prototyping to sophisticated rapid manufacturing in the last 20 years and can create parts directly from CAD model without the use of tooling. This technology is predicted to revolutionize many sectors of manufacturing by reducing component lead-time, material waste, energy usage, etc. Though there is significant progress in the field, there are still a number of challenges including characterization of mechanical properties. This paper presents a study conducted to characterize the mechanical properties of ABS-M30 materials whose specimens are fabricated using different printing parameters. To understand the mechanical properties, it is vital to study the effects of the printing parameters on 3D printed parts. For this purpose, Design of Experiment (DOE) is used. The printing parameters of the machine (Fortus 450mc Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) machine) such as raster orientation, air gap, and raster width, were examined to test Tensile strengths and 3-point bend strength of the tested specimens. The study shows that, raster orientation and air gap has more effect on mechanical properties of ABS-M30 products where raster width has less effect.

Abstract:
Additive manufacturing, the layer-by-layer creation of parts, was initially used for rapid prototyping of new designs. Recently, due to the decrease in the cost and increase in the resolution and strength of additively manufactured parts, additive manufacturing is increasingly being used for production of parts for end-use applications. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), a type of 3d printing, is a process of additive manufacturing in which a molten thermoplastic material is extruded to create the desired geometry. Many potential heat transfer applications of 3d printed parts, including the development of additively manufactured heat exchangers, exist. In addition, the availability of metal/polymer composite filaments, first used for applications such as tooling for injection molding applications and to improve wear resistance, could lead to increased performance 3d printed heat exchangers because of the higher thermal conductivity of the material. However, the exploitation of 3d printing for heat transfer applications is hindered by a lack of reliable thermal conductivity data for as-printed materials, which typically include significant void fractions. In this experimental study, an apparatus to measure the effective thermal conductivity of 3d printed composite materials was designed and fabricated. Its ability to accurately measure the thermal conductivity of polymers was validated using a sample of acrylic, whose conductivity is well understood. Finally, the thermal conductivities of various 3d printed polymer, metal/polymer composite, and carbon/polymer composite filaments were measured and are reported in this paper. The materials used are acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polylactic acid (PLA), stainless steel/PLA, Brass/PLA, and Bronze/PLA.

Abstract:
This paper presents experiment-based formulas that predict the geometric accuracy of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) rapid prototyping (RP) machines in a form suitable for fit and function applications. The proposed method establishes the accuracy of several base-level geometry characteristics such as line straightness and circularity through direct measurements. Statistical analyses are used to establish reliable prediction formulas for the base-level geometry characteristics. The base-level accuracy measures are then used to develop models for higher-level geometric accuracies such as orientation, position, or profile accuracy. The objective of the methods proposed in this paper is to help FDM manufacturers develop reliable measures of accuracy for their machines in a form that is directly applicable to mechanical design applications. The proposed procedure is simple enough that companies that own and use FDM machines can quickly develop in-house accuracy measures that are specifically relevant to their machines. This study does not make any claims regarding the absolute accuracy of FDM machines in general. Rather, the study suggests a methodology for characterizing the accuracy of existing machines or production models in a manner useful to fit and function design work. The methodology applies to other rapid prototyping technologies as well.
