Abstract

The use of 3D printing is very widespread in the current era of globalization. Mostly 3D printing machines use materials made of composite material. The material used to perform this 3D printing process must be in good condition and can be worn for a long period of time. This thesis research investigates the feasibility of using Nylon PA12 as a material for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing in high heat environments. SLS is a powderbased 3D printing technology that uses a laser to selectively fuse particles together to create a solid object. Nylon PA12 is a thermoplastic polymer known for its excellent mechanical properties, high temperature resistance, and good chemical resistance. However, its behaviour under high heat environments during the SLS printing process remains unknown. To address this, the characterization of the material under high heat environments will be study by using several mechanical testing which is heat treatment test, surface roughness and tensile test. With this, this research would help in the identifying the nylon PA12 characterization under high heat environment with the advancement and optimization of the SLS printing process using Nylon PA12 under high heat conditions.
