Optimisation of the Adhesion of Polypropylene-Based Materials during Extrusion-Based Additive Manufacturing

Optimisation of the Adhesion of Polypropylene-Based Materials during Extrusion-Based Additive Manufacturing

Polypropylene (PP) parts produced by means of extrusion-based additive manufacturing, also known as fused filament fabrication, are prone to detaching from the build platform due to their strong tendency to shrink and warp. Apart from incorporating high volume fractions of fillers, one approach to m...
