Abstract
A notable increase in prominence has been observed in the application of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing, resulting in a transformative influence on manufacturing processes in various sectors. The paramount importance of careful material selection for fully harnessing the capabilities of this technology is acknowledged. Within the scope of this comprehensive study article, an examination is conducted regarding the characteristics, benefits, and limitations associated with the three primary materials used in FDM 3D printing, namely Polylactic Acid (PLA), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), and Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PET-G). Each of these materials is recognized for possessing unique characteristics that render them suitable for a diverse array of applications, including educational and creative pursuits, as well as industrial prototyping and the creation of functional components. Importantly, the potential to enhance the mechanical, thermal, and electrical characteristics of these substances has been demonstrated through the integration of additives, such as carbon nanotubes, nanoclay, and graphene. Through the cooperative efforts of material scientists, engineers, and 3D printing enthusiasts, it is anticipated that FDM 3D printing will emerge as an essential and invaluable instrument across a wide range of disciplines.
