Herein, silicon nitride (Si3N4) was the selected additive to be examined for its reinforcing properties on high-density polyethylene (HDPE) by exploiting techniques of the popular material extrusion (MEX) 3D printing method. Six different HDPE/Si3N4 composites with filler percentages ranging between 0.0-10.0 wt. %, having a 2.0 step, were produced initially in compounds, then in filaments, and later in the form of specimens, to be examined by a series of tests. Thermal, rheological, mechanical, structural, and morphological analyses were also performed. For comprehensive mechanical characterization, tensile, flexural, microhardness (M-H), and Charpy impacts were included. Scanning electron microscopy (SME) was used for morphological assessments and microcomputed tomography (μ-CT). Raman spectroscopy was conducted, and the elemental composition was assessed using energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The HDPE/Si3N4 composite with 6.0 wt. % was the one with an enhancing performance higher than the rest of the composites, in the majority of the mechanical metrics (more than 20% in the tensile and flexural experiment), showing a strong potential for Si3N4 as a reinforcement additive in 3D printing. This method can be easily industrialized by further exploiting the MEX 3D printing method.
