In our research we prepared different mixtures of wood powder and PLA polymer. From these mixtures we prepared filaments for 3D printing with different content of wood in each filament. We made filaments with 10 %, 20 %, 30 %, 40 % and 50 % of wood powder in mixtures. We also include commercial filaments Laywoo-D3 and Primawood and filaments without wood, PLA and ABS. We used 3D printer Zortrax M200 to print our test models dimensions 40 x 12 x 4 mm. We were testing them on Rheometer ARES G2. We got results and we focused on Amplitude sweep and Temperature sweep. From these measurements we focused on storage modulus, LVR limit and glass transition temperature. The storage modulus was decreasing when percentage of wood was increasing in filament. So in our case minimum storage modulus have materials with 50 % wood powder. There was not a big difference between materials in deformation at LVR limit; the lowest deformation at LVR limit had filament with 50 % of wood powder and the highest had filament with 20 % wood powder. Glass transition temperature was in our case the same for all filaments (66 °C). They had the same glass transition temperature because they were made from the same base material-PLA.
