Additive manufacturing parameters of high-performance polymers greatly affect the thermal history and consequently quality of the end-part. For fused deposition modeling (FDM), this may include printing speed, filament size, nozzle, and chamber temperatures, as well as build plate temperature. In this study, the effect of thermal convection inside a commercial 3D printer on thermal history and crystalline morphology of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) was investigated using a combined experimental and numerical approach. Using digital scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized optical microscopy (POM), crystallinity of PEEK samples was studied as a function of thermal history. In addition, using finite element (FE) simulations of heat transfer, which were calibrated using thermocouple measurements, thermal history of parts during virtual 3D printing was evaluated. By correlating the experimental and numerical results, the effect of printing parameters and convection on thermal history and PEEK crystalline morphology was established. It was found that the high melting temperature of PEEK, results in fast melt cooling rates followed by short annealing times during printing, leading to relatively low degree of crystallinity (DOC) and small crystalline morphology.
During the laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process, the built part undergoes multiple rapid heating-cooling cycles, leading to complex microstructures with nonuniform properties. In the present work, a computational framework, which weakly couples a
Recent advances in the understanding and control of quantum technologies, such as those based on cold atoms, have resulted in devices with extraordinary metrological sensitivities. To realise this potential outside of a lab environment the size, weig
Currently, additive manufacturing of ceramics by stereolithography (SLA) is limited to single materials and by a poor thickness resolution that strongly depends on the ceramic particles-UV light interaction. Combining selective laser curing with inkj
Here we introduce a versatile stereolithographic route to produce three different kinds of Si-containing thermosets that yield high performance ceramics upon thermal treatment. Our approach is based on a fast and inexpensive thiol-ene free radical ad
