Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) is one of the most widely used bioplastics in bioengineering and has been actively applied to fused deposition modeling (FDM)-based 3D printing. However, the brittleness of PLGA remains a major obstacle to its application in FDM systems, because these systems can only process flexible materials. Here, we developed a new technique to enhance the flexibility of PLGA...
3D printing technologies have gotten an attention as a viable option for future manufacturing. Among them, FDM is the most popular one because it is inexpensive and can process with multiples materials. Layered surface, that has high roughness, is obtained with the technology due to layer-by-layer based process. This result highly decreases value of the final product. Various methods for postprocessing...
FDM is one of the popular 3D printing technologies due to an inexpensive extrusion machine and multi-material printing. However, FDM could only use thermoplastics such as ABS and PLA and has a problem related to the post-processing. In this study, we measured the mechanical property of ABS parts fabricated by FDM and the vapor smoothing technique which is one of the post-processing methods. Using...
