Effect of 3D printing process parameters on the impact strength of onyx – Glass fiber reinforced composites

Abstract Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is among the broadly used additive manufacturing methods to fabricate quality items with affordable advanced geometries with effective delivery and manufacturing logistics. Physical properties could be raised by checking out numerous FDM parameters as well as utilizing brand new substances through this method. Glass fiber is typical to support used in composites for applications needing effect resistance. This study examines the impact effect of onyx glass fiber 3D printed composites. In this analysis important methodological parameters were considered: layer layouts/ patterns (triangular, rectangular and hexagonal) and also infilled density (30, 40 and 50%) has thought about to check out right into their results on mechanical behaviors of 3D-printed onyx-glass fiber-reinforced composite samples, utilizing a premium 3D printing machine. The 3D printer used was a Mark forge's Mark X7 dual nozzle material extrusion machine. The impact test had carried out under ASTM guidelines. The obtained results showed that the impact strengths of onyx fiber composites were analyzed. From the outcomes gotten, it has observed that far better high qualities had accomplished with an enhanced infill thickness. Also, hexagonal-shaped style showed an optimum or maximum energy absorption when compared to various other equivalents. The findings had statistically evaluated to assess the relevant variables and their interactions.
