Resumo(s)

This paper studies the influence of Fused Filament Fabrication processing parameters upon mechanical properties and microstructural features of processed PLA parts. The effect of extrusion temperature and raster angle were tested upon two PLA filaments of different trademarks, DoWire and BQ, using a commercial fused deposition extruder. The filling density, layer thickness and velocity were kept constant at 60 %, 0.2 mm and 40 mm/s, respectively. Results allowed to determine fused filament fabrication parameters resulting in increased mechanical performance of manufactured parts. Mechanical performance is higher when material is stored under controlled atmosphere before use, and when material deposition direction is aligned with applied load. Increasing the extrusion temperature also increases performance, by increasing deformation ability of PLA molecules. Obtained results contribute to accumulation of a property database and provide design guidance to the procurement of additive manufacturing products with enhanced mechanical strength.
