- Abstract
The aim of the work was to compare currently available and expanded materials for 3D printers using FFF technology. This technology is currently one of the most widespread additive technologies and therefore great attention is paid to the material for this type of 3D printing. The materials used in the experiments were PLA, ABS, PET-G, NYLON and a flexible material with the trade name FLEX. The experimental part consisted of printing test samples from each of these materials. The test sample had randomly selected geometric elements, which were then measured with a caliper and averaged values from 3 identical samples. The results show that a test sample was printed from all the set materials. The best results of accuracy and surface quality were achieved by ABS and PLA materials. In the case of ABS, there was a slight problem with thermal deflection. PET-G material also achieved very good accuracy results, but it required tuning of process parameters. NYLON and FLEX materials are problematic materials for 3D printing, which was also confirmed in tests. Samples from these materials did not achieve the required accuracy and the surface quality was very low. By optimizing the printing process and the input CAD model, some errors could be eliminated, but the print quality would still not reach the value of standard materials.
