Influence of the Print Envelope Temperature on the Morphology and Tensile Properties of Thermoplastic Polyolefins Fabricated by Material Extrusion and Material Jetting Additive Manufacturing.

ABSTRACT: Additive manufacturing (AM) nowadays has become a supportive method of traditional manufacturing. In particular, the medical and healthcare industry can profit from these developments in terms of personalized design and batches ranging from one to five specimens overall. In terms of polymers, polyolefins are always an interesting topic due to their low prices, inert chemistry, and crystalline structure resulting in preferable mechanical properties. Their semi-crystalline nature has some advantages but are challenging for AM due to their shrinkage and warping, resulting in geometrical inaccuracies or even layer detaching during the process. To tackle these issues, process parameter optimization is vital, with one important parameter to be studied more in detail, the print envelope temperatu
