Evaluating Self-Produced PLA Filament for Sustainable 3D Printing: Mechanical Properties and Energy Consumption Compared to Commercial Alternatives
This study investigates the feasibility of self-producing polylactic acid (PLA) filament for use in 3D printing. The filament was fabricated using a desktop single-screw extruder and evaluated against commercially available PLA in terms of mechanical properties and energy consumption. Specimens were...
