POLYPROPYLENE AS A 3D PRINTER FILAMENT While not as commonly available as filaments such asPLA,ABSorPETG, polypropylene is slowly expanding its variety and availability in the market, and becoming more affordable for consumers. Hobbyists can expand their printing options as PP is a great practical ...
3D‐printingdesign of experiment (DoE)fused filament fabrication (FFF)polypropyleneSeveral chemical properties which influence the printability for fused filament fabrication 3D-printing are derived from analyses of commercially available filaments. In preliminary experiments, polymerization conditions are ...
Theoretically, having less of the material being extruded should reduce the shrinkage problems inherent to PP. How well theory translates to practice remains to be seen. At more than $100, for a 1-kilogram spool of filament, however, we find it hard to imagine 3D printing enthusiasts who hav...
Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic that has a number of properties that sets it apart from other thermoplastics which see common use with 3D printing, including PLA, ABS and nylon (PA). Much like ABS (and the similar ASA), it is a pretty touchy material to print, especially on FDM ...
Mechanical recycling Polypropylene WEEE plastics 3D printing Fused Filament Fabrication 1. Introduction In recent years, the continuous introduction into the market of new electric and electronic equipment (EEE, most of them having a short lifetime) has led to the generation of a huge amount of was...
Impurities present in the filament can become obstacles during the printing process. It can clog the nozzle of the 3D machine and cause the printing result to lose its constituent layers, and even stop the printing process. The impurities can also be related to the decrease in the mechanical ...
Utilization of advanced engineering thermoplastic materials in fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printing process is critical in expanding additive manufacturing (AM) applications. Polypropylene (PP) is a widely used thermoplastic material, while silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles (NPs), which can be...

The microstructure and mechanical properties of the filaments and 3D printed specimens were ...
This work addresses the potential of polypropylene, neat (PP) and reinforced with short glass fibers (GRPP), as a candidate for the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF)-based 3D printing technique. The entire production chain was evaluated, i.e., starting with PP and GRPP pellets, filaments were...
