The fused filament fabrication (FFF) technique was applied for the first time to fabricate novel 3D printed silicate bioactive and antibacterial Ag-doped glass-ceramic (Ag-BG) scaffolds. A novel filament consisting primarily of polyolefin and Ag-BG micro-sized particles was developed and its thermal properties characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to define the optimum heat treatment with minimal macrostructural deformation during thermal debinding and sintering. Structural characteristics of the Ag-BG scaffolds were evaluated from macro- to nanoscale using microscopic and spectroscopic techniques.

This work details a polyolefin-elastomer-based binder system to prepare fused filament fabrication (FFF) filaments and print cores for coils for electrical engines. The processability, homogeneity, and thermal properties of the polyolefin-elastomer-based filaments are explored. A two-step debinding and sintering process was established for manufacturing dense iron parts.
