This article presents the concept, research, and modeling of a sandwich composite made from ULTEM 9085 and polycarbonate (PC). ULTEM 9085 is relatively expensive compared to polycarbonate, and the composite structure made of these two materials allows for maintaining the physical properties of ULTEM while reducing the overall costs. The composite consisted of outer layers made of ULTEM 9085 and a core made of polycarbonate. Each layer was 3D-printed using the fused filament fabrication (FFF) technology, which enables nearly unlimited design flexibility. The geometry of the test specimens corresponds to the ISO 527-4 standard. Tensile and three-point bending tests were conducted. The structure was modeled in a simplified manner using averaged stiffness values, and with the classical laminate theory (CLT). The models were calibrated through tensile and bending tests on ULTEM and polycarbonate prints. The simulation results were compared with experimental data, demonstrating good accuracy. The 3D-printed ULTEM-PC-ULTEM composite exhibits favorable mechanical properties, making it a promising material for cost-effective engineering applications.

The study presented herein concerns the mechanical properties of two common polymers for potential biomedical applications, PLA and PETG, processed through fused filament fabrication (FFF)-Material Extrusion (ME). For the uniaxial tension tests carried out, two printing orientations-XY (Horizontal, H) and YZ (Vertical, V)-were considered according to the general principles for part positioning, coordinates, and orientation typically used in additive manufacturing (AM). In addition, six specimens were tested for each printing orientation and material, providing insights into mechanical properties such as Tensile Strength, Young's Modulus, and Ultimate Strain, suggesting the materials' potential for biomedical applications.

The long-term durability of polymer components produced by additive manufacturing (AM) in marine conditions is poorly understood. Here, fused filament fabrication (FFF) of Ultem 9085 was conducted and accelerated aging was performed. Two printing orientations (-45/45° and 0/90°) and two sample types (ASTM D638 Type 1 and Type 4) were produced and subjected to accelerated aging in either seawater or air.

This paper aimed to estimate the effect of post-printing cooling conditions on the tensile and thermophysical properties of ULTEM 9085 printed parts processed by fused deposition modeling (FDM). Three different cooling conditions were applied after printing Ultem samples: from 180 °C to room temperature (RT) for 4 h in the printer (P), rapid removal from the printer and cooling from 200 °C to RT for 4 h in the oven (O), and cooling at RT (R). Tensile tests and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) were carried out on samples printed in three orthogonal planes to investigate the effect of the post-printing cooling conditions on their mechanical and thermophysical properties.

In this paper, the results obtained for the structural integrity of two real-life aircraft interior parts produced by using Ultem 9085 and the fused deposition modeling (FDM) are presented. Numerical simulation was used to perform static mechanical analysis of the class divider subjected to the case of the most critical load. By using a simple beam model, it was identified that the most efficient way of increasing the bending stiffness (required to pass the most crucial load case test) would be to increase the part's width of the class divider.
