Abstract Scope |
Natural fibers have several benefits in the composite materials industry as they comprise high mechanical properties, lowest possible cost, high availability and sustainability. Additive manufacturing is a technique widely used for the use of composites in the automotive, aerospace, civil construction and armoring sectors. Among the benefits of this technology are the low amount of material discarded after the process, the ability to reuse waste and savings in the manufacture of personalized products. In the study, the method of manufacturing 3D printing by stereolithography was used through the combination of liquid resin with powder of natural babassu lignocellulosic fibers as reinforcement material in order to create composite plates intended for ballistic application. For this purpose, the objective was to carry out chemical, thermal and mechanical tests for the characterization of babassu powder in the construction of an object elaborated by 3D printing in layer by layer via selective laser sintering. |
