Mechanical characterization of 3D-printed polymers

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a brief discussion about additive manufacturing and also the most employed additive manufacturing technologies for polymers, specifically, properties under different loading types such as tensile, bending, compressive, fatigue, impact and others.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advances in 3D printing of thermoplastic polymer composites and nanocomposites

TL;DR: In this article, the importance of thermoplastics and thermoplastic composites to additive manufacturing is discussed, and a perspective is given on the important parameters and standards needed to make AM printed objects from polymer composites more effective in cost/performance ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI

3D-printing and advanced manufacturing for electronics

TL;DR: A groundwork for defining methods and protocols, reviewing various 3D-printing methods, and describing the state-of-the-art in3D-printed electronics and their future growth is given.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three-dimensional-printed molds and materials for injection molding and rapid tooling applications

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the injection molding process and the importance of mold design and tooling considerations, important material requirements and thermal properties for molds, polymer material requirements for injection moulding, mold flow analysis, and the promise of using the 3D printing process for mold fabrication.
