ADDING WOOD POWDER TO MAKE 3D PRINTING MATERIAL STRONGER

WOOD POWDER CAN CHANGE THE DEFECTS OF PLASTIC

3D printing often uses plastic as a source of materials. In other words, plastic is mostly used in 3D printing material. It can be used to make the toys of the kids, for example, a Batman figurine, or the dinosaurs, all of them are printed out of plastic. There are two common types of plastic used, ABS and PLA. PLA is more rigid and easy to color, and considered to be more environmentally-friendly than ABS, since PLA is made from renewable resources, with excellent properties. However, there are still defects in PLA properties, such as high brittleness, poor thermal stability, low glass transition temperature, and limits its use in some further applications. Therefore, the researchers have taken experiments to find ways to fix those defects, and they found wood powder as a magical material.

THE FINDINGS OF WOOD POWDER

A team from Shandong University of Technology has done the research and published a paper that discusses the effects of wood powder as an added material to fix the defects in the plastics materials contained in 3D printing materials. With wood powder, it can improve the fluidity of 3D printing materials. and can enhance the interface compatibility between the materials, and impact the strength of 3D printing materials.

There are also some more advantages of wood powder in adding it to the plastic materials. Since those for 3D printing need to meet the environmental requirements (safe, non - irritating and non - toxic for example, then wood powder is so suitable, since they are made from wood waste, from the waste of making wood for furniture,... Therefore, wood powder is extremely environmentally - friendly and can meet all the requirements.

HOW THEY ADDED WOOD POWDER INTO THE PLASTIC MATERIALS?

Some researchers have added coconut shell powder to PLA, then filled it with wood powder, mixed it with wood powder again. But then, they just reinforced PLA with wood powder to make a new 3D printing material, to change the fluidity and toughness. Then the material is stronger and more flexible, as well as durable. And, it was fabricated with a 3D printing consumables extruder at 180 °C. Then, the 3D printing materials prepared not only could be applied to 3D printing but also be very environmentally - friendly and promising in the field of printing.
