    Comparative Analysis of 3D Printed Nylon and PETG Specimens for Mechanical Properties.

    By Chirag Sanghani

    Abstract: Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of the most used additive manufacturing techniques for polymer components. The polymer materials generally used in FDM process are polylactic acid (PLA), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), Nylon, etc. The mechanical properties of parts fabricated by FDM depend on material and process parameters. Several researchers have tried to investigate the influence of process parameters on mechanical properties for some of the …

    Development of 3D Printing Filaments from Industrial Waste Plastics

    By Vijay Gupta, Arpit More, Chirag Sanghani, Rakesh Patel

    Abstract: The global plastic waste crisis has prompted innovative approaches to sustainable material reuse, particularly in additive manufacturing. Simultaneously, the accumulation of plastic waste presents significant environmental concerns. Recycling plastic into filament supports eco-friendly innovation and brings us closer to a circular economy where materials are reused instead of thrown away. This study investigates the development of 3D printing filaments from industrial waste plastics, including polypropylene (PP), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), …

    Experimental Investigation of Various 3D Printing Materials for Making Travel Bag Wheels

    By Chirag Sanghani, Vishal Rana

    Abstract: 3D printing is one of the emerging areas of manufacturing. Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is widely used 3D printing technique in various fields like jewellery, fashion, art and sculpture, medical, etc. In this paper, different polymer materials like ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), PLA (Polylactic Acid), carbon fibre, PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate), HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene), etc. were analysed for compressive strength by preparing standard specimens according to ASTM standard D695 to …
