Fabrication Process of Polymer Nano-Composite Filament for Fused Deposition Modeling

This Report Describe the Development of a New Polymer Nano-Composite Material that Tobe Used as an Altenative Material for Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) Process. this New Type Ofpolymer Nano-Composites is a Mixture of Polycaprolactone (PCL) as a Main Resin, Montmorillonite(MMT) and Hydroxyapatite (HA) as a Filler. the Compunding Process is Done Using Single Screwextruder Nanomixer Machine. then the Compounded Polymer Nano-Composites is Crushed and Fedinto Single Screw Extruder which is Design to Produce a Filament. A Polymer Nano-Compositesfilament with 1.7 Mm of was Successfully Produced by Assisted of Water Bath and Puller Machine.The Temperature Setting for Heater 1, Heater 2, Heater 3 and Heater 4 on Extruder Machine Are78°C, 114°C, 113°C, and 79°C Respectively. the Spindle Speed for Extruder Machine was Set to 3.0Hz, while the Puller Machine Speed is 2.5%.
