Appropriate recursive formulas were obtained for generating repeatable and self-similar cel-lular structures obtained from PLA using the FDM/FFF method. The H1s, H2s self-similar models show mechanical self-similarity relationships based on simulation and compression test. In addition, the H1s models show higher displacement values than the H1i recurrent models. For the results of the H2s models, it is not conclusive whether they show higher displacement values.

Uzyskano odpowiednie formuły rekurencyjne do generowania powtarzalnych i samopodobnych struktur komórkowych otrzymanych z PLA metodą FDM/FFF. Zbadano wytrzymałość na ściskanie otrzymanych w ten sposób struktur. Modele samopodobne H1s, H2s wykazują zależności mechanicznego samopodobieństwa na podstawie symulacji i testu ściskania. Ponadto modele H1s wykazują wyższe wartości przemieszczeń niż modele rekurencyjne H1i. Dla wyników modeli H2s nie jest jednoznaczne, czy wykazują one wyższe wartości przemieszczeń.

Effect of shells number (1–5) on tensile properties of PLA samples printed using the FDM/FFF technique was investigated. The crack surface was also analyzed. The best properties were obtained for 4-shell sample. However, due to the large coefficient of variation (>> 10%) in the case of elongation, 3-shell sample was selected for testing the machining impact. Such a large coefficient of variation can be explained by the presence of voids between the layers. The greater the number of layers, the greater the structure defects. Machining increases surface smoothness while reducing tensile strength and practi¬cally unchanged elongation at break.

Zbadano wpływ liczby warstw (1–5) na właściwości mechaniczne przy rozciąganiu próbek PLA otrzymanych techniką FDM/FFF. Analizie poddano także powierzchnie pęknięć. Najlepsze właściwości uzyskano dla próbki 4-warstwowej. Jednak, ze względu na duży współczynnik zmienności (>> 10%) w przypadku wydłużenia, do badań wpływu obróbki skrawaniem wytypowano próbkę 3-warstwową. Tak duży współczynnik zmienności można wyjaśnić obecnością pustych przestrzeni pomiędzy warstwami. Im większa liczba warstw, tym większe defekty struktury. Obróbka skrawaniem zwiększa gładkość powierzchni przy jednoczesnym zmniejszeniu wytrzymałości na rozciąganie i praktycznie niezmienionym wydłużeniu przy zerwaniu.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of manufacturing conditions on the mechanical properties and structure of ABS parts. Two sets of samples with the same geometric characteristics were produced by fused deposition modelling (FDM) and injection molding (IM). The molding pressure and cooling rate were found to have a significant effect on shaping the mechanical properties and structure of ABS products. The manufacturing method and adopted process parameters have a significant impact on the degree of packing of macromolecules in the volume of the product and thus determine its density. Selected mechanical properties were determined and compared with their specific gravity. The research was carried out using tools and machines, i.e. injection molds of unique design and standard measuring stations. Tensile and bending strengths and Young’s modulus were related to the density of products obtained under different process conditions and having gradient and solid structures. The results provide useful information for engineers designing products using FDM technology. Relating tensile and flexural strength and Young’s modulus to the specific gravity of the product. It was found that the value of product properties is closely related to various process conditions, which further provides a true description of the products.

Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have been gaining popularity in recent years due to patent releases – and in effect – better accessibility of the technology. One of the most popular AM technologies is fused deposition modeling (FDM), which is used to manufacture products out of thermoplastic polymers in a layer-by-layer manner. Due to the specificity of the method, parts manufactured in this manner tend to have non-isotropic properties. One of the factors influencing the part’s mechanical behavior and quality is the thermoplastic material’s bonding mechanism correlated with the processing temperature, as well as thermal shrinkage during processing. In this research, the authors verified the suitability of finite element method (FEM) analysis for determining PET-G thermal evolution during the process, by creating a layer transient heat transfer model, and comparing the obtained modelling results with ones registered during a real-time process recorded with a FLIR T1020 thermal imaging camera. Our model is a valuable resource for providing thermal conditions in existing numerical models that connect heat transfer, mesostructure and AM product strength, especially when experimental data is lacking. The FE model presented reached a maximum sample-specific error of 11.3%, while the arithmetic mean percentage error for all samples and layer heights is equal to 4.3%, which the authors consider satisfactory. Model-to-experiment error is partially caused by glass transition of the material, which can be observed on the experimental cooling rate curve after processing the temperature signal.

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) 3D printing technology has become popular for producing prototypes and final parts in various industries, including the automotive, aerospace, and medical sectors. The leakage of such components is often an important factor in determining their possible applications. This paper focuses on researching the influence of printing parameters on leakage and relating the results to the strength of parts produced using this technology. The printing parameters considered were temperature and layer height. PLA (polylactic acid) was chosen as the material due to its biodegradability and biocompatibility. Leakage measurements were carried out using an empty cylinder-shaped vessel filled with air under pressure. The leakage value was observed as a pressure drop over time. It was shown that 3D-printed FDM vessels are not perfectly leak-proof, but the value of observed leakage may be acceptable for selected applications (leakage below 2.5 Pa/s). The results showed a high correlation be-tween the height of the printed layer in both the leakage and strength of the tested samples, while reducing the height increased the tightness and strength of the 3D-printed parts. The effect of printing temperature was less significant.

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology is one of the rapidly growing techniques used for producing various complicated configurations without the need for any tools or continuous human intervention. However, a low quality of surfaces results for the layered production used in FDM. It is essential to investigate a suitable method for enhancing the accuracy and quality associated with FDM parts. This study aims to investigate the impact of different parameters such as the percentage of infill density, the shell thickness, layer thickness, and the number of top/bottom layers, as well as the percentage of infill overlap on part quality and the improvement of surface finish for printed specimens achieved through post-processing. Polylactic acid (PLA) material is used in building test specimens through the FDM approach. The experiments are carried out based on the Taguchi design of experiment method using (L25) orthogonal array. Using an analysis-of-variance approach (ANOVA), it is possible to understand the significance of the FDM parameters in order to find optimal parameter combinations. The results indicate that the application of the vapour smoothing procedure (VSP) treatment enhances the surface quality of FDM components to a microstage with minimal dimensional variation. The dichloromethane chemical has been found to exhibit excellent surface finish at an infill density of 50%, a layer thickness of 0.1 mm, a shell thickness of 2.8 mm, five top/bottom layer numbers, and 0.25 infill overlap.

The paper shows a preliminary study of the basic strength parameters of printed parts made of biocompatible polymers with ceramic layers applied to increase the strength of the tool cutting surface. Methods: The specimens were made from different materials and using different 3D printing technologies and the working surfaces that will eventually form the cutting element of the tool were coated with Al2O3. Gloss tests were conducted, properties of the coating, a scratch test of the coated surface, also evaluated surface topography. Results: Based on the conducted research, it was found that polymeric materials are characterized by sufficient strength and can be used for disposable tools, however, the use of thin layers of Al2O3 significantly increases the surface strength parameters, which may have a significant impact on the reliability and durability of the tools. The polymer surface covered with an Al2O3 layer is characterised by increased scratch resistance ranging from 24% to 75% depending on the core material and printing technology. The gloss of the surfaces is disproportionately low compared to currently used metal tools, which indicates that they can be used in endoscopic procedures. Conclusions: Based on the conducted research, it was found that the use of thin layers of Al2O3 covering polymer 3D prints is an excellent way to increase strength parameters such as scratch resistance, tribological parameters and light reflections arising on the surface as a result of endoscopic lighting are disproportionately small compared to metallic biomaterials. This gives great hope for using polymer 3D prints for personalised neurosurgical tools.

The subject of the article is the influence of filament moisture on the quality of products manufactured using the additive method using the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) method. Three types of thermoplastic polymers were tested: ABS, PLA and PET-G. The polymers were stored in environments with different humidity. The moisture content of the filament was determined as the water content in the material expressed as a percentage by weight. To obtain the expected humidity of the samples, they were conditioned for 7 days in tightly closed containers with constant humidity of 40%, 60% and 80%. After the sample conditioning process was completed, they were removed from the container and subjected to further tests. The influence of filament humidity on selected properties of manufactured products is presented, such as: surface quality of the obtained samples, tensile strength and dimensional repeatability. To sum up, the method of storing the filament affects the moisture content of the filament. The humidity of the filament, in turn, affects the quality of products manufactured using the FDM method, including: on: mechanical properties, dimensional stability, Surface appearance. Therefore, it is important in what conditions the filament is stored before the production process begins.

3D printing technologies are gaining popularity year by year. They allow for a significant improvement in the production of prototypes and utility models. In addition, 3D printing facilitates the production of thin-walled elements and complex shapes, which is difficult when using traditional manufacturing methods. It should be noted that the technological parameters of 3D printing, such as the printing orientation and the thickness of a single layer, are very important because they affect the printing time, material expenditure and the dimensional accuracy of the printed details. There are many types of 3D printers, the operating principle of which and the building material used are different. However, one of the most popular and available types of additive manufacturing is Fused Deposition Technology. Therefore, detailed studies of this technology are particularly desirable by economic entities. The article presents research aimed at assessing the influence of the print direction and the thickness of a single layer of a building material on the flatness deviation and the 3D surface roughness parameters. Special thin-walled models were designed and printed from PLA material using a printer named MakerBot Replicator+. The research results presented in the article showed that the direction of printing and the thickness of a single layer of building material in the Fused Deposition Modeling Technology affect the roughness parameters, flatness and printing time of the produced models.

W artykule przedstawiono wykorzystanie metody kontroli konwergencji do weryfikacji obudowy tunelu drążonego w warunkach fliszu karpackiego. Bazuje ona na obliczeniach numerycznych MES lub MRS i stanowi rozwinięcie metod analitycznych i seminumerycznych, które wykorzystywano w początkach jej stosowania. Dzięki użyciu modeli MES lub MRS możliwe jest odwzorowanie tak skomplikowanego ośrodka, jakim jest flisz karpacki i jego (w większości przypadków) asymetrycznego oddziaływania. Obecnie jedynie przestrzenne modele MES i MRS przewyższają opisywaną metodę pod względem możliwości obliczeniowych.

The paper presents the use of the convergence confinement method for designing and verifying the tunnel lining in the conditions of the Carpathian flysch. It is based on numerical calculations using FEM or FDM and it is a development of the analytical and semi-analytical methods that were used at the beginning of its application. By using FEM or FDM models, it is possible to reproduce such a complex medium as the Carpathian flysch and its (mostly asymmetric) actions. Currently, only spatial FEM and FDM models exceed the described method in terms of computational capabilities.

3D printing is a modern technology that enables the creation of three-dimensional objects from various thermoplastic copolymers. One of the challenges of 3D printing is providing adequate support for complex shapes that may fall apart or deform during the printing process. Traditionally, support materials are used for this purpose, which are difficult to remove after printing and difficult to dispose of. This work focuses on the analysis of the solubility of the BVOH support filament in solutions with different pH values. In particular, the influence of pH on the dissolution time of the BVOH (Butenediol Vinyl Alcohol Co-polymer) copolymer in aqueous solutions and its influence on changes in the PETG base material from which the samples were printed were examined. It was found that the BVOH material combined with PETG is easily soluble in an alkaline environment.

Purpose: The FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) additive manufacturing process is characterised by a large number of process variables that determine the mechanical properties and quality of the manufactured parts. When printing layer by layer, the filaments constituting the layer are welded on the one hand between them in the same layer and on the other hand between the superimposed layers, this welding develops on the contact surfaces (raster width) along the deposited filaments. The quality of this welding determines the resistance to crack propagation between filaments and between layers. This article aims to study the effect of the width of the raster on the resistance to crack propagation in a structure obtained by FDM. Design/methodology/approach: We have developed an experimental approach from CT specimens to determine the tensile strength of polylactic acid (PLA) polymers, considering the J-Integral method. And given the complexity of the problem, three cases of raster width (l=0.42 mm, l=0.56 mm and l=0.68 mm) have been treated. Findings: According to the results obtained (J, ∆a), the resistance to crack propagation in the parts printed by FDM seems to be better when the width of the filament is small. Indeed, the energy necessary to break the specimen is relatively greater than in the case of a larger width. This finding was confirmed by comparing the values of J for a given advancement of the crack for the three cases studied. Research limitations/implications: In order to present an exhaustive study, we focused on the effect of raster widths (including 0.42 mm, 0.56 mm to 0.68 mm) on the crack propagation of printed PLA. This study is in progress for other printing parameters. To highlight the cracking mechanisms, microscopic observations will be developed in greater depth at the SEM. Practical implications: Our analysis can be used as decision support in the design of FDM parts. In effect, we can choose the raster width that would provide the resistance to crack propagation desired for a functional part. Originality/value: In this article, we analysed the damage mechanism of CT specimens printed by FDM. This subject represents a new direction for many lines of research. For our study, we used the J-Integral theoretical approach to study the fracture behaviour of these parts by determining the resistance curves (J-∆a).

Purpose: In the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF/FDM) technology, the multi-material manufacturing additive method is achieved by a single nozzle or multiple nozzles working simultaneously with different materials. However, the adhesion between different materials at the boundary interface in FDM multi-material printing is a limiting factor. These studies are concerned with improving and study the adhesion between two polymers. Design/methodology/approach: Due to the numerous applications and possibilities of 3D printed objects, combining different materials has become a subject of interest. PLA is an alternative to the use of petrochemical-based polymers. Thermoplastic Polyurethane is a flexible material that can achieve different characteristics when combined with a rigid filament, such as PLA. To improve the adhesion between PLA and TPU in multi-material FFF/FDM, we propose the comparison of different processes: post-processing with acetone immersion, surface activation during printing with Acetone, surface activation during printing with tetrahydrofuran, post-processing annealing, and connection of printed parts with tetrahydrofuran. Findings: Modifying the 3D printing process improved the quality of the adhesive bond between the two different polymers. Activation of the surface with THF is the treatment method recommended by the authors due to the low impact on the deformation/degradation of the object. Research limitations/implications: In the study, adhesion was considered in relation to the circular pattern of surface development. Further analysis should include other surface development patterns and changes in printing parameters, e.g. process temperatures and layer application speed. Practical implications: 3D printing with multi-materials, such as PLA biopolymer and thermoplastic polyurethane, allows for the creation of flexible connections. The strengthening of the biopolymer broadens the possibilities of using polylactide. Examples of applications include: automotive (elements, where flexible TPU absorbs vibrations and protects PLA from cracking), medicine (prostheses with flexible elements ensuring mobility in the joints). Originality/value: Multi-material printing is a new trend in 3D printing research, and this research is aimed at promoting the use and expanding the possibilities of using PLA biopolymer.

In this paper, an efficient method based on the Fourier decomposition method (FDM) is presented for noise removal of medical microscopic images. We propose an adaptive thresholding technique based FDM for denoising of heavily degraded images. An accurate image deconvolution is done with variance stabilization transformation and multi-scale Wiener filtering as a pre-processing step. The different series of frequency intrinsic band functions (FIBF’s) obtained with FDM which are further separated into noise and signal-significant FIBF’s based on cosine similarity index. The FDM adaptive thresholding technique is used to filter-out the unwanted frequency coefficients related to mixed Poisson-Gaussian noise (MPG). The thresholded FIBF’s and signal significant FIBF’s are combined to obtained reconstructed output. Finally, the optimization is done using mixed noise unbiased risk estimate (MNURE). To evaluate the effectiveness of proposed scheme, we have compared the results of the proposed scheme with six different state-of-the-art techniques. The simulation results verify, the effectiveness of proposed method. The proposed algorithm achieves better performance in terms of four quantitative evaluation measures by reducing the effect of noise.

The natural vibrations of thin (Kirchhoff-Love) plates with constant and variable thickness and interaction with water are considered in the paper. The influence of the water free surface on natural frequencies of the coupled water-plate system is analysed too. The Finite Element Method (FEM) and the Finite Difference Method (FDM) are used to describe structural deformation and the Boundary Element Method (BEM) is applied to describe the dynamic interaction of water on a plate surface. The plate inertia forces are expressed by diagonal or consistent mass matrix. The water inertia forces are described by fully-populated mass matrix which is obtained directly from the theory of double layer potential.

This article analyzes the influence of layer height on the tensile strength of PLA specimens printed in the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology. The maximum breaking force of specimens with 30% and 100% infill density was determined at layer height of 0.05 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm and 0.3 mm. In the case of 30% infill, the highest value of the force was obtained for a layer with a height of 0.05 mm (which corresponds to 22.7 MPa), and for a 100% infill for a layer of 0.2 (which corresponds to 40 MPa). Over this layer height of 0.2 mm is the most poly-optimal due to the time prints and strength (which corresponds to 19.7 MPa).
