Investigation of thermal and dimensional behavior of 3-D printed materials using thermal imaging and 3-D scanning

Fused deposition modeling is one of the most widely used 3-D printing technologies, among other additive manufacturing processes, because it easy to use, can produce parts faster, and cost finished part low. Printing processes are often studied characterized using different techniques collect mechanical, numerical, thermal dimensional data, with aim improving optimizing result. The first this research based on observation temperature changes a imaging camera during fused process cooling after printing. Specimens polylactic acid acid-X improved second-phase particles were prepared compare properties two materials. obtained results determined characteristic behavior In second research, optical scanner was verify stability accuracy printed specimens over time. proposed measurement period showed that stabilization parameters takes place, further follow-up should be performed thereafter.
