Analysis Nozzle Temperature Effect in 3D Printer Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) On Mechanical Properties and Characteristics of Polylactic Acid (PLA)

Agris Setiawan, Muhamad Alfa Rizky, Untung Sukamto

Abstract

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) 3D Printer is a revolutionary technology in
Additive Manufacturing (AM). Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a biodegradable and
compostable polymer formed from the condensation of lactic acid. This experimental
study uses a nozzle temperature variation of 210 °C, 220 °C, 230 °C and infill type is
honeycomb pattern which print speed of 3D printer is 80mm/s to print the specimen.
The specimen of tensile test was conducted based on American Society for Testing and
Material (ASTM) standard D638 type 4, while the specimen of flexural test was
conducted based on ASTM standard D790. tensile test, flexural test, and
macrostructural analysis will be carried out to determine the effect of nozzle
temperature on the test. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the shrinkage
produced by 3D Print specimens for tensile tests and flexural tests at nozzle
temperature 230 °C was very high, namely 2.83% and 4.33%, respectively. nozzle
temperature at 230 °C produces a fairly high Ultimate Tensile Strength (σUTS) and
Flexural strength (σFS) of 39.60±2.60 MPa and 49.02±0.76 MPa, respectively. In
macrostructural analysis, the nozzle temperature porosity at 230 °C produces the
smallest porosity of 0.04 mm2 or 1.46%.
