Abstract Multicolour capability in additive manufacturing could play a key role in certain applications such as surgical training and consumer products. However, the ability to accurately 3D print colours is not well documented and could affect the realism of models produced through these technologies. As a recent system, the Stratasys J750 Digital Anatomy Printer has yet to be analyzed for its colour perception and accuracy, which is quantified through this study. This will allow users of this and similar material jetting systems with an improved understanding of the relationship between digitally applied colours and their result when 3D printed, as well as the influence of certain settings. Thirty-three rectangular prism models with different CMYK and RGB colours, as well as infill materials, were printed on a Stratasys J750 DAP printer. These were scanned on five faces using a Nix Mini 2 handheld colour sensor, documenting readings in CIELAB format. The data were analyzed using the CIEDE2000 colour difference formula, and its recent modifications for 3D printed objects. Results found statistically significant and perceptive differences in colour accuracy among different colours, core materials, and face orientations. It was also observed that the addition of VeroPureWhite as filler material instead of the default SUP706 support improved colour accuracy. The study recommends the following steps to improve colour accuracy: (i) avoid the addition of black (K) manually in CMYK colour space, (ii) use pure white as the base infill material instead of support material, (iii) add a little white (~ 10%–30%) to make samples opaque instead of translucent.
增材制造中的多色能力可以在某些应用中发挥关键作用,例如外科培训和消费产品。然而,准确3D打印颜色的能力没有很好的记录,可能会影响通过这些技术产生的模型的真实性。作为一个最新的系统,Stratasys J750数字解剖打印机还没有被分析其色彩感知和准确性,这是通过本研究量化。这将使这种和类似材料喷射系统的用户更好地理解数字应用颜色与3D打印结果之间的关系,以及某些设置的影响。在Stratasys J750 DAP打印机上打印了33个具有不同CMYK和RGB颜色以及填充材料的矩形棱镜模型。使用Nix Mini 2手持式颜色传感器在五张脸上扫描这些数据,以CIELAB格式记录读数。使用CIEDE2000色差公式及其最近对3D打印对象的修改对数据进行了分析。结果发现,不同颜色、核心材料和面部朝向在颜色准确性上存在统计学上的显著差异和感知差异。还观察到添加VeroPureWhite作为填充材料而不是默认的SUP706支持提高颜色精度。本研究建议采取以下步骤来提高色彩准确性:(i)避免在CMYK色彩空间中手动添加黑色(K), (ii)使用纯白色作为基础填充材料而不是支撑材料,(iii)添加少量白色(~ 10%-30%)使样品不透明而不是半透明。

Abstract The solid-state additive manufacturing (AM) process cold spraying (CS) offers advantageous properties such as melt-free near-net-shape part fabrication and high deposition rates. Compared to other metal-based AM processes such as the powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M) or directed energy deposition (DED) processes such as laser metal deposition (DED-LB), CS features lower part resolution. One solution to increase the achievable level of detail is spraying onto removable molds. No study exists that investigates the general feasibility and manufacturing boundaries, from which design guidelines could be derived. In this paper, the applicability of material extruded and thermally bonded polymer (MEX-TRB/P) shapes, which is especially suitable for flexible low-cost production of small batches, as molds for cold spray additive manufacturing (CSAM) is investigated. For this purpose, material extruded thermoplastics are examined regarding their suitability for the CS process. Furthermore, geometrical and thus constructive restrictions of this new approach “Cold Spray Forming” (CSF) are analyzed using an industry-relevant use case. It was shown that the feasibility of this approach could be determined by the material value hardness of the sprayed polymer substrates.

Abstract The management of infectious diseases has posed a significant challenge in recent years, drawing the attention of scientific communities. Copper is renowned for its robust antimicrobial properties; however, it is susceptible to tarnishing. In contrast, copper-nickel alloy demonstrates not only commendable mechanical strength and corrosion resistance but also exceptional antimicrobial efficacy. A suitable copper-nickel alloy was synthesised using cold spray additive manufacturing, blending copper and nickel powders. The resultant as-printed coupons underwent heat treatment at varying temperatures to ensure alloy formation, porosity reduction, and property enhancement. Both corrosion properties and hardness were investigated across different selected heat treatment conditions. The specimens exhibiting the highest corrosion resistance and hardness were selected for antibacterial and tarnish resistance testing. Stainless Steel 316 was employed in the antibacterial evaluation as a negative control for comparison. Notably, a fair well distribution of copper and nickel was observed within the as-printed product. The optimal heat treatment condition for the copper-nickel alloy was determined to be 1030 °C followed by air cooling, as it exhibited superior material properties compared to alternative heat treatment conditions. An assessment of antimicrobial performance underscored the alloy’s effectiveness in rapidly eradicating bacteria. Additionally, the highest strength samples underwent a tarnish resistance study, revealing elevated tarnish resistance. The nature of material performance in response to the heat-treatment process and antibacterial performance are discussed.

Abstract This study investigates the effects of 3D printing parameters on the mechanical properties (predominantly tensile properties) of a commercial polylactic acid-based wood fiber composite material known as wood filament. The influence of printing parameters, including layer thickness, infill density, printing speed, and nozzle temperature on the mechanical properties, is studied, and the design of the experiment (DOE) is made through Taguchi L 9 orthogonal array. The specimens for the tensile test are fabricated by the material extrusion (MEX) 3D printer, which is also known as fused deposition modeling (FDM) or fused filament fabrication (FFF). After conducting the tensile test, this research considers four significant outcomes: tensile strength, maximum load, elastic modulus, and elongation at break. Further analysis of the obtained results from mechanical testing is performed through analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine the significance of each parameter on the mechanical properties. Moreover, prediction and optimization are conducted to verify the obtained results from the DOE. Furthermore, scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) is used to analyze the fracture zones, cracks, voids, and fiber/matrix adhesion of the FDM fabricated parts which demonstrates that the lower layer thickness provides better adhesion and fewer voids between successive layers and thus exhibits better mechanical performance.
