摘要

This chapter includes a thorough literature evaluation that is in line with the current investigation. This chapter presents a comprehensive literature review on electroplating of FDM-printed ABS parts, with a specific focus on their potential for biomedical applications. FDM, a widely used additive manufacturing technique, enables the fabrication of complex geometries from ABS, a versatile thermoplastic. Electroplating enhances the surface properties of these FDM parts, improving their wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. This review explores various electroplating techniques, with a particular emphasis on nickel plating. Key aspects discussed include surface preparation methods, process parameters, and the influence of FDM printing conditions on the quality of the electroplated layer. Challenges and future research directions in this field, including the development of biocompatible coatings and the optimization of process parameters for specific biomedical applications, are also discussed.
