Abstract

Altering the heating regime of the polymer during the fused filament fabrication (FFF) process can lead to changes in both the behaviour of the polymer and the characteristics of the printed product. This study proposes replacing the traditional resistive heating system with two hybrid systems that introduce an additional temperature of 120–160 °C: one combining resistive and hot air jet heating, and the other combining resistive and infrared radiation heating. The samples printed using these hybrid systems were analysed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and visually inspected. Commercial ABS and PLA filaments were used in the experimental programme. A model to evaluate the polymer’s melting during the printing process was proposed and experimentally validated. Visual testing revealed that the printed lattice structure had smaller voids, characterised by depositions that were flattened rather than circular in cross-section due to the extended time in a viscous/partially molten state. The elongation viscosity and storage modulus decreased by approximately 10%, with a slightly smaller decrease observed for the infrared radiation heat source. The glass transition temperature remained unchanged, and the molecular mobility was not affected by the additional heat. Similarly, the energy required for crystal formation was unaffected by the supplementary heat. The mechanical behaviour of the printed pieces during compression tests was also influenced by the addition of a second heat source. For both materials, a decrease in deformability was observed as the temperature of the hot air jet increased.
