Abstract

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is defined as according to ASTM is a process joining materials to create objects from 3D CAD model via layer upon layer. One of the common technology of AM is Fused Deposited Modelling (FDM), which uses the method of extrusion to form parts. FDM technology has been applied in many applications such as consumer product manufacturing. However, FDM suffers badly from low surface finish quality due to staircase effect and post treatment is required. In order to improve the surface roughness, the chemical treatment is one economic and fast method to enhance surface finish of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Stryene) fused modeled part by performing chemical treatment in Acetone solution. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the influence of chemical treatment on the FDM used parts in term of surface roughness.
