| Summary: | This paper presents of Polymer Matrix Composite (PMC) as feedstock used in Fused
Deposition Modelling(FDM) machine. This study discussed on the development of a new PMC
material by the injection molding machine. The material consist of copper powder filled in an
acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), binder and surfactant material. The effect of metal filled in
ABS and binder content was investigated experimentally by the Melt Flow Index (MFI) machine.
Based on the result obtained, an increment of copper filled in ABS by volume percentage(vol. %)
effected on melt flow index results. With highly filled copper in PMC composites increase the melt
flow index results. It was concluded that, the propensity of the melt flow allow an internal force in
PMC material through the injection molding and FDM machine |
