3D Printing of Natural Fibre Reinforced Recycled Polypropylene
(The University of Auckland, 2017)The adverse effects that waste plastics are having on the environment is becoming increasingly apparent. However, the plastics recycling industry in New Zealand is entirely market driven, necessitating the development of ... -
Characterizing the mechanical properties of fused deposition modelling natural fiber recycled polypropylene composites
(MDPI, 2017)The objective of this investigation was to characterize the performance of natural fiber reinforced polypropylene composites in fused deposition modelling (FDM). Composite filaments comprising of pre-consumer recycled ... -
Development of Recycled Polypropylene Composite Materials for Applications in 3D Printing
(University of Waikato, 2016)The adverse effects that waste plastics are having on the environment is becoming increasingly apparent. However, the plastics recycling industry in New Zealand is entirely market driven, necessitating the development of ... -
Fused deposition modelling of natural fibre/polylactic acid composites
(MDPI, 2017)Fused deposition modelling is a simple additive manufacturing technology utilising fine filament extrusion of predominantly thermoplastic materials to build 3D objects layer by layer. This research explores the feasibility ... -
Sustainable composite fused deposition modelling filament using post-consumer recycled polypropylene
(MDPI, 2017)Post-consumer recycled polypropylene (PP) with differing harakeke and hemp fibre contents was used to fabricate a range of 3D printing feedstock filaments. The most successful filaments in terms of tensile properties ...
