Research Progress on Interlayer Bonding Enhancement Methods for Prototypes Fabricated by Fused Filament Fabrication
Fused filament fabrication(FFF)3D printing uses the layer-by-layer stacking method to generate solid prototypes,which leads to the weak bonding interfaces between adjacent layers of filaments in FFF prototypes,showing anisotropy in mechanical performances.This has become a bottleneck in the FFF technology.To improve the interlayer bonding performances of FFF prototypes,the process principle and interlayer bonding principle of FFF 3D printing were described,and the latest research progresses on enhancing interlayer bonding performances of FFF prototype parts by domestic and foreign scholars were discussed from four aspects:optimization of slice processing,improvement of molding equipment,filament modification and post-processing of prototype parts.The research directions of improving interlayer bonding performances of FFF prototype parts were prospected.
