3D-Printed Polymer Spare Parts for Various Applications

Abstract:

3D-printed polymer component parts and spare parts are now being widely used in various applications. In this paper, the 3D printing technologies and materials for spare part production in several applications are presented. Some opportunities and challenges faced when using 3d-printed spare parts are also discussed. The acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) has mostly been used. And it was found out that the durability of the spare parts could vary depending on the application.
