Abstract

This study examines the advantages of additive manufacturing over traditional production in terms of cost, strength, and size. The previous work’s filament was 1.75 mm in diameter and made up of 80:20 wt% ABS and cellulose fiber composite. The filament was utilized in a 3D printer to create customizable automotive parts that were developed with CAD software and produced as scaled models. To precisely compare the models, fabrication factors such as layer thickness, printing time and speed, and fill density were evaluated, and the components were printed at 100% fill density. Tensile, flexural, and impact strengths of the filament material were found to be 46%, 25%, and 17% greater than pure ABS composite, respectively. The study also demonstrated that additive manufacturing of customized car parts provided cost and strength benefits compared to conventionally manufactured components.
