Properties of Modified Recycled Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) Filament for FFF 3D Printing Applications

Zachary Koroneos
Additive manufacturing is a growing industry that can reduces the amount of material use and allows for an effective modeling method for computer aided design software. By utilizing 100% recycled PET filament for fused filament fabrication (FFF), a high value output can be produced by utilizing the most consumed polymer on today’s market. PET can be combined with chemical additives such as chain-extenders and thermal stabilizers in order to enhance its mechanical properties.
