Abstract

3D printing is one of the emerging areas of manufacturing. Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is widely used 3D printing technique in various fields like jewellery, fashion, art and sculpture, medical, etc. In this paper, different polymer materials like ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), PLA (Polylactic Acid), carbon fibre, PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate), HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene), etc. were analysed for compressive strength by preparing standard specimens according to ASTM standard D695 to check their feasibility in making travel bag wheels. No. of specimens were prepared from material having highest compressive strength by 3D printing with varying process parameters. It was found that 3D printed wheel made from PLA+ material can replace currently used nylon wheel in market.

Keywords: 3D printing, FDM, ASTM D695, Compressive test, Travel bag wheel
