Stalna rast potreb po funkcionalnih, trpežnih in stroškovno učinkovitih izdelkih je spodbudi-la raziskave na področju kombiniranja materialov pri 3D tiskanju z metodo FDM. V tej nalogi smo raziskali različne lastnosti najpogosteje uporabljenih materialov, kot so PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU in najlon. Na podlagi tega smo izbrali več kombinacij materialov, ki obetajo dobro medsebojno povezavo. Z uporabo ustreznih nastavitev tiskanja smo natisnili vzorce in izvedli eksperimentalne preizkuse, osredotočene na kakovost spoja med materiali. Testi na upogib so pokazali, da je uspešnost kombiniranja močno odvisna od temperaturne kompatibilnosti in adhezivnih lastnosti materialov. Z analizo rezultatov smo našli kombinacije, ki bi ustrezale pri izdelavi za različne izdelke, prav tako tudi pri nadaljnjih raziskavah. Naloga prispeva k razvoju prilagodljivih izdelkov ter odpira možnosti za učinkovitejšo uporabo tehnologije FDM v industriji.

Abstract

The constant growth of the demand for functional, durable and cost-effective products has stimulated research in the field of material combination in 3D printing using the FDM method. In this work, we investigated the various properties of the most commonly used materials, such as PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU and nylon. Based on this, we selected several material combinations that promise good mutual bonding. Using appropriate printing settings, we printed samples and conducted experimental tests focused on the quality of the joint between the materials. Bending tests showed that the success of the combination strongly depends on the temperature compatibility and adhesive properties of the materials. By analyzing the results, we found combinations that would be suitable for manufacturing for various products, as well as for further research. The work contributes to the development of flexible products and opens up possibilities for more efficient use of FDM technology in industry.
