Abstract

This project entitled Effect of Acetone Vapor on Mechanical Properties of Fused Deposition Modeling Printed Part is focus on the Rapid Prototyping (RP) technologies with Fused Depostion Modeling (FDM) technique.RP has the benefit being capable to create very complex geometries,which could be impossible with traditional methods or fabricated at high cost.For material cost properties,the cost of RP parts is mostly related to the size of the product.The project will be used polymer-based material specifically Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS).However,the FDM technique suffers from poor surface roughness,restricting it application on some areas requiring high surface integrity.Therefore,a post processing stage is required to improve the surface roughness of the FDM printed part.In this study,an acetone vapor post process will be employed to improve the surface roughness of the part but the scope of the study will focus on the effect of mechanical properties of the printed part.Mechanical anisotropy behaviour of the specimen will be investigated via tensile test, flexure test and microstructural arrangement.As conclusion,the results of implementation of acetone vapor as post processing of FDM printed part will be compared to the original printed part regarding the mechanical properties.
