Additive Manufacturing 3Dprinting
In a thermosetpolymer the bonds between different chainsare typically CovalentBonds
Dislocation Anextraplane of atom inserted into a 3Dcrystal structure
FDM typeof 3D printing Thermoplastic polymers
Important to consider when using FDMprinting toproduce anobject
The orientation of the fibres withintheprint
Anyvoids createdwherelayers didnotproperly adhere to eachother
Support materials forcomplex features suchas overhangs
Work hardening The process of deforming themetal to increase theyieldstrength
of metals
Work hardening results in materials beloming more brittle
Additive manufacturing
canbe useful in creating one of a kind designs
canbe used for many different
types ofmaterial including metals polymersand
ceramics
