摘要
The great potential of Extrusion Additive Manufacturing (EAM) for structural prototyping in the automotive industry is severely limited by the directional bias in the build direction. The layerwise fabrication leads to reduced mechanical properties at the layer-to-layer interface compared to the bulk of the strand. Especially for the often-used semi-crystalline thermoplastics, the mechanical properties strongly depend on the processing parameters, even more so if short fibers are used as fillers. Therefore, ideal processing windows in which the mechanical strength and modulus in the z-direction reach their maximum can be identified for these parameters, resulting in a reduced directional bias. The influence of the EAM processing parameters on mechanical strength has already been investigated, correlating strength with thermal conditions during printing. However, these considerations did not distinguish between the thermal effect on the polymer properties, the formation of voids and pores at the layer interface, and the resulting fiber orientation for different strand proportions. Therefore, in this study, the effect of different processing temperatures and layer heights on the pore size and distribution, as well as the fiber orientation in the different regions of the mesostructure was investigated using X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT).
