Abstract—

Thermoplastic elastomer based on butadiene–styrene rubber has been developed for 3D printing using fused deposition modeling (FDM). The influence of the intensity of the flow and the direction of printing on the physical and mechanical characteristics of the material was investigated. A comparative analysis of 3D printed products and products made by thermal pressing was carried out. The developed material shows an increase in strength during manufacture using fused deposition modeling by 18% compared to the molded sample, as well as an increase in strength by 25% and elongation by 50% with increased print intensity.
