Selection of Temperature–Time Parameters for Additive FDM Printing of Products from Low-Modulus Filaments Based on Thermoplastic Elastomers
摘要
This work is devoted to the study of problems arising during additive fused deposition modeling (FDM) printing with low-modulus filaments based on thermoplastic elastomers. A number of experimental methods are proposed for determining the optimal temperature–time parameters of three-dimensional printing using rheological and physicomechanical tests of materials. Optimal parameters of additive FDM printing of thermoplastic elastomer-based products and filaments have been established. It has been experimentally shown that the recommendations for 3D-printing temperature provided by manufacturers of thermoplastic-elastomer filaments are not always optimal, and a series of test studies must be conducted to determine the temperature–time parameters that ensure the best quality of products.
