Abstract

This research focuses on testing the flexural strength of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) materials used in 3D printing by the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) method. The objective of this study was to evaluate the mechanical strength of ABS using a full factorial experimental design, applying three main factors such as layer height, infill density and infill pattern. Flexural testing was conducted following ASTM D790 standards. A total of 27 specimens were made by varying the layer height, infill density and infill pattern. The results showed that layer height was the most influential factor on flexural strength, with the highest value of 41.815 Mpa at 0.2 mm layer height, 100% infill density, and line infill pattern. ANOVA analysis supported this conclusion with p values <0.05 for layer height, while infill pattern and infill density showed no significant effect. This study provides guidelines for the use of optimal parameters in ABS-based 3D printing processes.

Abstract

This study addresses the challenges involved in the reverse engineering of complex mechanical components, where conventional manual measurement methods often produce geometric deviations that negatively affect the reliability of advanced engineering analyses. A descriptive literature review was conducted to evaluate the role of 3D scanning technology in overcoming these limitations. The study compares various data acquisition methods, including laser scanning, structured light scanning, and photogrammetry, while also analysing how the level of geometric accuracy influences finite element simulation results and structural analysis outcomes. The review found that 3D scanning significantly improves geometric fidelity compared with traditional techniques, thereby enhancing the validity of numerical simulations. However, the review also identified that the quality of the final model is highly dependent on the selected scanning technology, surface conditions, and advanced reconstruction processes such as point cloud registration and mesh generation. The findings indicate that although 3D scanning offers superior precision, geometric deviations may still occur and influence structural parameters. This study concludes that the integration of 3D scanning into reverse engineering workflows requires systematic validation to ensure not only visual accuracy but also functional reliability in engineering applications. Furthermore, this review highlights a critical research gap, suggesting that future studies should place greater emphasis on the direct correlation between geometric accuracy and engineering simulation outcomes.

Abstract

Additive Manufacturing (AM), particularly Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), has evolved from a rapid prototyping technology into a manufacturing approach for producing functional components across a wide range of industrial sectors. Nevertheless, the limited build volume of FDM systems has encouraged the use of adhesive bonding as a practical method for joining sub-components, with the single-lap joint (SLJ) configuration being among the most widely adopted designs. This review aims to provide an integrated analysis of the relationship between FDM-induced surface morphology, the adhesion mechanisms developed at the bonded interface, and their implications for stress distribution, shear strength, and joint failure modes. The findings indicate that the surface characteristics generated by the FDM process, including layer lines, stair-stepping effects, voids, and porosity, create interfacial conditions that differ fundamentally from those of homogeneous materials. These characteristics also produce a non-linear relationship between surface roughness and joint strength. Process parameters such as printing orientation and layer height were identified as key controlling factors that influence surface topography and adhesive performance. From a mechanical perspective, the eccentric load path inherent in SLJ configurations generates significant shear and peel stress concentrations at the overlap ends. These stress concentrations coincide with structurally weak regions that are intrinsically associated with FDM adherends, making them the primary sites for crack initiation and joint failure. Furthermore, modifications to overlap geometry and tailored adhesive distribution have been recognized as effective strategies for improving stress redistribution and enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the joint. This review highlights that the assessment of adhesive joints in FDM-manufactured components requires an integrated analytical framework that accounts for the coupled interactions among printing process parameters, surface conditions, adhesive properties, and progressive failure modeling. Such an approach is essential for the development of reliable structural joint designs for FDM-based applications.
