Critical Review of Heat-resistant and Mechanical Properties of Acrylonitrile -butadiene-styrene (ABS) Modification for Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

Abstract

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is the most widely used in three-dimensional printing (3D printing) field. As the main raw material for FDM, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) has many excellent characteristics and evident price advantages. It is used in production and usually has certain special requirements, of which heat-resistance is the most common. This paper is intended to summarize the latest research status and achievements of FDM and the heat-resistant modifiers of ABS resin used for FDM. These researches are important in improving the whole properties expanding and enriching the applications of FDM 3D-printed ABS parts. This paper is aimed to give some help and references to the researchers who are specializing in 3D printing and polymer blending fields.
