Abstract

Additive manufacturing (AM) has revolved from conventional method called, subtractive manufacturing (SM) process. In additive manufacturing, there are several types of method can be conducted based on the types of material, size of product and the purpose of production. One of the methods is Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) specialized in thermoplastic printing. The study is done on Polylactic Acid (PLA), PLA-wood and PLA-metal filaments by Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) as one of the AM processes. The mechanical properties of both type of the filaments such as tensile strength and flexural are differ to each other's. The differences of these filaments are convenient to its purpose and functionality. Tensile strength and flexural analysis are the two factor that is analyzed to make something resistant to the pressure or loads. Different type of materials used has its own strength to be used at a certain situation according to the number of loads acted on it. To identify the strength of the material, there are a few experiments or test that can be conducted such as Tensile and Flexural Test. Other than that, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is also can be used to obtain the data analysis of tensile strength and flexural of the product. Both of this plan will be done at the same time to ensure that the result analysis of both processes is correctly interpreted.
