| Summary: | Nowadays, fuse deposition modeling is a growing fabrication technology for developing new products. When
using plastics, these processes present various challenges related to fusion distribution, fuse deposition paths, part
orientation, and layer thickness among others. The problem is increased however, when fabricating parts using
materials that are limited in the literature. The use of different equipment may produce variations in the mechanical
properties of a product. This study analyzes the effects of process parameters as well as the use of two different
fuse deposition models on mechanical properties of wood-plastic composites. A design of experiments is proposed
as a methodology to evaluate the objectives of the study. Results show that makerbot™ is a promising option to
improve ultimate tensile strength exposed to different conditions of fabrication. It was observed that the
makerbot™ and the printrbot™ had a significant difference in the tensile strength in the wood-plastic composite
filled samples. The layer thickness of the samples has a significant impact in the mechanical properties, the tensile
strength decreases as the thickness increases |
