Thermovisual measurements of 3D printing of ABS and PLA filaments

This paper presents the use of 3D printing and discusses two types of materials used in 3D printing, i.e. ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) and PLA (Polylactide). Next, it presents the thermovisual measurementscarried out on 3D printed samples (FDM method - fused deposition modelling) of these materials. The temperature zones that occurred during printing were determined. The geometrical dimensions of samples from the same material that were printed under different conditions were compared. The height of the printed object has a large influence on temperature distribution on its surface and the printing time does not differ significantly when printing with PLA or ABS.
