Framework for sustainable recycling in automotive prototyping: The case study of Polyamide 12 in Additive Manufacturing

Improving sustainability in industrial processes is a key topic for the welfare of the environment. One of the major environmental problems caused by industrial processes is industrial waste production. In the automotive industry, the use of polymers such as PA12 for prototyping produces tons of waste per year which are generally destined to...

Mechanical Behaviour of PA2241FR used in Selective Laser Sintering

This research focuses on the possible causes of variation in the tensile strength and stiffness of witness specimens that are used in the manufacturing of aerospace grade selective laser sintered parts. Using specimens and data obtained from Materialise of the PA2241FR samples, the crystallinity and porosity of the samples was determined. The...
