PROCESSING AND MATERIALS EFFICIENCY IN FUSED DEPOSITION MODELING: A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON PARTS MAKING USING ABS AND PLA POLYMERS

There are alot of materials available on market to make a 3D printing part, shuch as ABS, PLA, HIPS, PETG and
others. On 3D printing product there are some responses that could be observeb. Some of responses are processing time,
mechanical properties dimension accuracy and others. This research is conducted to compare the ABS and PLA efficiency
on fused deposition modeling process. Processing time and material consumption are the factor that used in this research to
compare the eficiency between ABS and PLA. Processing time, and material consumption were the responses that were
measured. The study reports that both of processing time and material consumption using ABS as a printing material was
found more efficient compared with using PLA. Printing process using ABS was 2661 seconds, which was faster than
using the PLA was 2808 seconds. For the material consumption, show that the average mass of ABS was 7,33 grams
compared with using PLA was 8,17 grams. The estimated value of the Axon is always greater than the value of the time
recording process and measurement of the mass printing result.
