Abstract
To manufacture 3D-printed polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) products with excellent light transmittance performance, this study evaluated the principle of light transmission and the influencing factors of fused deposition methods (FDM) 3D-printed PETG products. This study explored the influence of different slicing parameters (layer height, extrusion rate, and printing speed) on the light transmittance of PETG products via a UV-visible spectrophotometer. The results showed that, in the range of 0.1 to 0.3 mm, the PETG specimens with 0.2 mm layer height had the best light transmittance performance; in the range of 100% to 120%; the PETG specimens with 110% extrusion rate had the best light transmittance performance; in the range of 20 to 40 mm/s printing speed, the PETG specimens with 40 mm/s printing speed had the best light transmittance performance. Comparison of image visibility showed that PETG products with layer height of 0.2 mm, extrusion rate of 110%, and printing speed of 40 mm/s had the best image visibility.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of BioResources is to promote scientific discourse and to foster scientific developments related to sustainable manufacture involving lignocellulosic or woody biomass resources, including wood and agricultural residues. BioResources will focus on advances in science and technology. Emphasis will be placed on bioproducts, bioenergy, papermaking technology, wood products, new manufacturing materials, composite structures, and chemicals derived from lignocellulosic biomass.
