Abstract

Wearable cloths undergo a lot of shear stretching. It is important to study the role of printing parameters which may improve adhesion capacity between printed thermoplastic material and the cotton fabric. In this paper, effort has been made to determine the best set of printing parameters for effective FDM based printing on cotton fabrics using 3D printer. Printed samples are tested in shear mode of loading to evaluate adhesion capacity of thermoplastic printing material on cotton fabrics. Cotton fabric with rectilinear infill pattern has been selected for investigating in shear mode condition. Using an infill percentage of 80 per cent gives best adhesion strength. This study may further be used for printing smart material on fabric substrate.
