Abstract
3D printing otherwise called added substance fabricating, is a technique for making a three dimensional item layer by layer utilizing a PC made plan. 3D printing is an added substance measure whereby layers of material are developed to make a 3D part. Accordingly, 3D printing makes less material wastage. One of the conceivable outcomes of 3D printing is to make composites with an extra worth comprises in consolidating 3D printing materials with material textures. This study concentrates on characterization of physical properties of 3D printing materials and fabrics. 3D printing filaments used in this study was Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Polylactic Acid (PLA) and they are printed on 3 types of fabrics which were cotton, jersey and nylon. Washing test was carried out on the printed fabrics. Next, no of intact layers and the length of torn off layer were measured after washing process to determine the adhesion strength of the 3D filaments on the fabrics. Result shows various behaviors for each combination of the 3D filaments and the fabrics. In conclusion, the combination of TPU and jersey fabric has the highest adhesion strength and recommended to be used for textile-printing application. � 2023 Author(s).
