Mechanical Strength of Additive Manufactured and Standard Polymeric Components Joined Through Structural Adhesives.

ABSTRACT: The main aim of this work is to evaluate the mechanical properties of additive manufactured polymeric parts joined with standard plastic parts through structural adhesives. The primary advantage of this technique is its ability to significantly increase the size of the final assembly by using additive manufacturing (AM) for complex joints and inexpensive, reliable extruded plastic parts for load-bearing components. This hybrid assembly combines the flexibility and shape adaptability of AM with the structural strength and cost-effectiveness of extruded polymer parts, resulting in a final design that performs comparably to the base material. The materials used in the paper are rigid acrylic adhesive and toughened acrylic, both applicable with almost no surface preparation and fast curing. Th
