Open-source printing is a field where the cost of printing additive manufacturing products is cheaper due to more economical software and parts to construct a product including those of tissue engineering scaffolds. In this manuscript, fused deposition modeling (FDM) is used as the main avenue of open-source use in 3D printing of tissue engineering scaffolds. Additive manufacturing enables the researchers to build 3D products with interior and exterior architectures precisely defined and produced using open-access software which dictates the printer to print the models or the data obtained by various imaging techniques. In this way, implants to suit the dimensions and the mechanical and physicochemical properties needed for an artificial extracellular matrix can be produced. The main limitations are the limited number of printing materials and their unknown compositions which make their biocompatibility an issue. With the recent developments of in-house filament production, this limitation is also being overcome.

Mechanical behavior of additively manufactured polymer composite structures and interfaces Kepenekci, Mehmet; Özerinç, Sezer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-9-6) Additive manufacturing (AM) is a technology based on the layer-by-layer production of parts. Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is one of the most cost-effective and popular AM techniques for the production of polymeric structures. While the initial use of FFF was limited to thermoplastics such as PLA and ABS, recent advances enabled the printing of composite materials and structures for superior mechanical performance. Multi-material printing through dual-nozzle systems offers a unique opportunity towards t...
Characterization of novel materials for fused filament fabrication AL-DUAIS, ABDULLAH ABDULRAHMAN NAJI; Özerinç, Sezer; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-6-24) Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is a polymer additive manufacturing technology that is suitable for a wide range of applications due to its low cost and ease of use. This thesis investigated two types of novel materials for FFF use. First, a foaming PLA filament is considered and the mechanical properties of 3D printed specimens using this filament is characterized. The results show that the strength, modulus and density of the foaming PLA can be tuned over a wide range of values by varying FFF process par...
Mechanical properties of nylon parts produced by fused deposition modeling Hasçelik, Sabit; Öztürk, Ömer T.; Özerinç, Sezer (2021-01-01) Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a widely used additive manufacturing technique for producing polymeric parts. While most commonly used FDM filaments are PLA and ABS, nylon is a widely used thermoplastic polymer in industry. This study investigated the mechanical properties of FDM-produced specimens made of nylon and quantified the effect of process parameters such as raster orientation and nozzle temperature on the mechanical properties. As the nozzle temperature increases, specimens become stronger with...
Multi-axis 3D printing of spiral parts without support structures Fazla, Bartu; Dilberoğlu, Mecid Uğur; Yaman, Ulaş; Dölen, Melik (2021-11-01) The recent developments in Additive Manufacturing (AM) have accelerated the spread of 3D printers all over the world. Fused filament fabrication (FFF) has become the prevalent technology for use in printing typical thermoplastics. Sometimes, the nature of layer-wise production brings about the necessity of using support structures, leading to (i) increased material consumption, (ii) reduced production speed, (iii) deterioration in the part quality, and (iv) extra post-processing. To eliminate these shortcom...
