Fabrication of Metallic Parts by 3D Printing Using Metallic Powder-Polylactide Composite Filament

Abstract

In this research copper powder is blended with polylactide (PLA) to form the composite material-Copper Filamet? The parts are printed by using a 3D printer and then sintered into metal parts in a high-temperature sintering furnace The metal parts are manufactured by low-cost 3D printing methods In the research a 3D numerical simulation is performed to understand the heat transfer properties of the system The experiment process is divided into two major parts surface topography observation and mechanical property measurement
