Abstrak

Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is a widely used 3D printing technique known for its versatility across industries. However, achieving optimal strength, crucial for applications like the automotive and aerospace industries, remains a challenge. This study demonstrates the efficacy of metal-infused filaments in enhancing FDM’s strength and quality. By incorporating metal particles into polymer matrices, their mechanical properties are notably improved. PLA and metal-infill PLA (copper, silver) are tested, with silver PLA showing notably higher tensile strength and hardness. Considerations such as infill density and pattern are discussed for optimizing object strength. This work underscores the potential of metal-infused FDM printing for advancing manufacturing capabilities, especially for intricate, high-strength metal components.
