Fused Deposition Modeling is an additive manufacturing technology where a temperature-controlled head extrudes a thermoplastic material onto a build platform in a predetermined path. Standard, advanced thermoplastics and composites are used for printing. Among the areas of application for FDM printing, the main ones are rapid prototyping, as well as small-scale and batch production. The purpose of the work is the implementation of FDM 3D printing technology in the educational process of students in specialty 141 "Electroenergy, electrotechnics and electromechanics". The features of the technology of additive manufacturing of electrical apparatuses parts by the method of FDM printing have been investigated. Parts of four standard sizes were printed using ABS + and PLA plastics, namely, current transformer carcasses in the amount of 110 pieces and sensor bodies in the amount of 100 pieces. For printing, an FDM 3D printer was used built on the XZ Head Y Bed kinematic scheme with an open working chamber. The analysis of defects in finished products was carried out, which showed that the main defects are deviations of the actual dimensions and geometric shape of the finished products. Ways to prevent the occurrence of these defects are considered, namely, correcting the size of the model at the stage of preparing the model for printing, minimizing the filling density of the model, using brims in models, setting the optimal temperature of the working platform and simultaneously printing several products. The results of the study o features of the technology of additive manufacturing of electrical apparatuses parts by the method of FDM printing made it possible to develop a set of laboratory works for students of the specialty 141 "Electroenergy, electrotechnics and electromechanics".

Pediatric Use

In the treatment of pediatric diseases, suitable dosages and dosage forms are often not available for an adequate therapy. The use of innovative additive manufacturing techniques offers the possibility of producing pediatric dosage forms. In this study, the production of mini tablets using fused deposition modeling (FDM)-based 3D printing was investigated. Two pediatric drugs, caffeine and propranolol hydrochloride, were successfully processed into filaments using hyprolose and hypromellose as polymers. Subsequently, mini tablets with diameters between 1.5 and 4.0 mm were printed and characterized using optical and thermal analysis methods. By varying the number of mini tablets applied and by varying the diameter, we were able to achieve different release behaviors. This work highlights the potential value of FDM 3D printing for the on-demand production of patient individualized, small-scale batches of pediatric dosage forms.

Functional Components

Additive manufacturing (or three-dimensional (3D) printing) is constantly growing as an innovative process for the production of complex-shape components. Among the seven recognized 3D printing technologies, fused deposition modeling (FDM) covers a very important role, not only for producing representative 3D models, but, mainly due to the development of innovative material like Peek and Ultem, also for realizing structurally functional components. However, being FDM a production process involving high thermal gradients, non-negligible deformations and residual stresses may affect the 3D printed component. In this work we focus on meso/macroscopic simulations of the FDM process using abaqus software. After describing in detail the methodological process, we investigate the impact of several parameters and modeling choices (e.g., mesh size, material model, time-step size) on simulation outcomes and we validate the obtained results with experimental measurements.

3D printing, or additive manufacturing, has gained considerable interest due to its versatility regarding design as well as in the large choice of materials. It is a powerful tool in the field of personalized pharmaceutical treatment, particularly crucial for pediatric and geriatric patients. Polysaccharides are abundant and inexpensive natural polymers, that are already widely used in the food industry and as excipients in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. Due to their intrinsic properties, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-immunogenicity, etc., polysaccharides are largely investigated as matrices for drug delivery. Although an increasing number of interesting reviews on additive manufacturing and drug delivery are being published, there is a gap concerning the printing of polysaccharides. In this article, we will review recent advances in the 3D printing of polysaccharides focused on drug delivery applications. Among the large family of polysaccharides, the present review will particularly focus on cellulose and cellulose derivatives, chitosan and sodium alginate, printed by fused deposition modeling and extrusion-based printing.

Abstract Additive Manufacturing (AM) concerns all classes of materials – polymers, metals, ceramics and glasses as well. For this reason, AM is in the focus of material scientists from all branches. Leaders of the industry realize that the possibilities of 3D printing are endless, and that these possibilities need ways and means to be taken full advantage of. Today, aerospace engineers are using the fused deposition modeling (FDM) method for rapid prototyping, part manufacturing, and tooling. They are followed by leaders and engineers from industry (industrial machines, motor vehicles, consumer products, medical/dental) but also from academic institutions and government/military.

3D printing technologies define the essence of Additive Manufacturing and make possible the agile production of customized parts from different materials, with lower unit cost and waste generation. Currently, one of the most widespread 3D printer technologies is the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) type, which is the object of this paper. The choice of 3D printing equipment depends on the alignment of the purpose of use and technical knowledge to consider certain requirements. Therefore, this choice can be time-consuming and/or imprecise. In this sense, this work aimed to classify FDM-type 3D printer models by applying the ELECTRE-MOr method, a Multi-criteria Decision Aiding (MCDA) method. As a result, based on a categorization between classes, the FABER 10 alternative was the only one that presented class A performance in all evaluated scenarios, based on criteria defined by the experts consulted in this study.

In this review, the potential of natural fiber and kenaf fiber (KF) reinforced PLA composite filament for fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D-printing technology is highlighted. Additive manufacturing is a material-processing method in which the addition of materials layer by layer creates a three-dimensional object. Unfortunately, it still cannot compete with conventional manufacturing processes, and instead serves as an economically effective tool for small-batch or high-variety product production. Being preformed of composite filaments makes it easiest to print using an FDM 3D printer without or with minimum alteration to the hardware parts. On the other hand, natural fiber-reinforced polymer composite filaments have gained great attention in the market. However, uneven printing, clogging, and the inhomogeneous distribution of the fiber-matrix remain the main challenges. At the same time, kenaf fibers are one of the most popular reinforcements in polymer composites. Although they have a good record on strength reinforcement, with low cost and light weight, kenaf fiber reinforcement PLA filament is still seldom seen in previous studies. Therefore, this review serves to promote kenaf fiber in PLA composite filaments for FDM 3D printing. To promote the use of natural fiber-reinforced polymer composite in AM, eight challenges must be solved and carried out. Moreover, some concerns arise to achieve long-term sustainability and market acceptability of KF/PLA composite filaments.
