Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) aims at optimizing the product design based on rules defined thanks to (AM) constraints. To elaborate a functional design, several parameters like part orientation and layer thickness influence results of mechanical strength, roughness, manufacturing time. Surface roughness is an important input Fused Deposition Modeling which impacts functionalities. pa...

In this work, we printed a Nafion precursor membrane by fused deposition modeling (FDM) rapid prototyping technology and further fabricated IPMCs electroless plating. The ion-exchange capacity of the was tested, morphology observed. electro-mechanical properties under AC voltage inputs were studied, grasping experiments performed. results show that after hydrolysis has good ability water-holdin...
