  Optimization of Process Parameter in 3D Printing to Minimize Wear Loss and increase Tensile Strength

  By Mayank Kumar Tiwari, Vivek Singh, Sachin Srivastava, Dharmendra Kumar Dubey, Mahendra Pratap Yadav, Suraj Kumar

  Abstract: Additive Manufacturing (AM) and especially Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) has emerged as a very versatile process of manufacturing polymer components with complex and highly-integrated geometries. Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a favorite of the many thermoplastic FDM materials because of its biodegradability, easy processing and predictable mechanical properties. The study aimed at maximizing critical parameters in FDM process in order to reduce wear loss and also increase tensile strength of PLA …

  A Comparative Study of the Structure-Property Relationships in CAD/CAM Milled vs. 3D-Printed High-Performance Polymers: Impact of Molecular Orientation on Abrasive Wear

  By Aardra B S, Vikas Singh, Iknoor Kaur, Remmiya Mary Varghese, Parthiban Saketharaman, Shubhangi Srivastava

  Abstract: Background: The transition from subtractive to additive manufacturing in prosthetic dentistry has introduced significant variations in the macromolecular architecture of high-performance polymers. While CAD/CAM milling utilizes high-density, industrially polymerized blocks, 3D printing (Additive Manufacturing) relies on layer-by-layer deposition, which may induce anisotropic molecular orientation. This retrospective study investigates how these distinct manufacturing "thermal histories" influence the long-term abrasive wear resistance of PEEK and PEKK restorations.​Materials and Methods: Data were retrospectively …
