ABSTRACT

Designer materials with asymmetrical mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties can be made using PMC technology with continual or intermittent packing material aligned in a user-specified direction. Conventional production techniques are cast-centric, which limits the geometry of the specimen and makes them difficult to use. In contrast, additive manufacturing methods such as fused filament fabrication, fused deposition modelling, stereolithography, or direct ink writing enable the 3D printing of composite polymer matrix substance samples with complicated geometry and aligned material instead of a mould. The methods for fabricating and aligning filler materials, as well as operational and design characteristics such as dimension, accuracy, reinforcing filler alignment time, matrix material and reinforcing filler needs, and refill operation requirements, are all covered in the sections that follow. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of polymer/metal joints of the mechanical characteristics were illustrated.
