Abstract Scope |
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is the process of manufacturing where materials are constructively added to create an object. AM allows for some designs that are impossible to produce with traditional methods. One of the most common AM process is Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) process, which utilizes layers of extruded materials to fabricate objects. While 3D printers commonly use plastics, composite materials can also be used.
The power consumption of electronics are related to run time, though power consumption is also influenced by how much energy electronics need to operate. 3D printers can reduce run time by increasing layer height, decreasing infill density, or increasing print speed, but all of these factors will affect the quality of the print. This research intends to develop a knowledge base to manufacture Iron-PLA composites and analyze the mechanical and electrical properties in addition to the energy consumption of the prints based upon print parameters. |
