Abstract

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is a process in 3D printing technology in producing thermoplastic product by heating the wire filament and builds the part layer by layer. Nowadays, natural fibre is getting popular among researcher to use it in thermoplastic composite either as filler or to reinforce the composite. In this study, sugarcane bagasse is chosen fibre to reinforce Polylactic Acid (PLA) composite to develop a wire filament for FDM. This wire filament developed through extrusion process at the same time, the parameter of the extrusion machine need to analyse. Before the experiment started, the materials were dividing into four ratios. In order to developed the wire filament, some processes such as alkalinised, dried and blending process need to emphasize. Not only that, to determine the appropriate temperature used in extrusion process, the materials through a test named rheology and from there, the viscosity of the material observed to ensure the wire filament in correct viscosity. Based on the rheology results, the optimum temperature for this material is 175 ˚C. Then, this temperature was used as the reference for the extrusion process.
