TRIBOLOGICAL BEHAVIOUR AND SURFACE ROUGHNESS QUALITY OF 3D PRINTED ABS MATERIAL

Abstract

Additive manufacturing or 3D printing is one of the newer methods of manufacturing. The basic difference to other types of production is that the material is added in the form of layers. There are many types of technologies in 3D printing, but the most common is fused deposition modeling. This technology uses different types of thermoplastic materials to build an object. This paper will present the tribological characteristics and surface roughness measurement of samples printed on a low-cost 3D printer using thermoplastic materials ABS.
