Table 2 Process temperatures and times corresponding to the three different processes
Manufactured specimens | Process Temperatures | Process Time |
|---|---|---|
3D printing commercial thermoplastic filaments with nano-carbonic additives | 220ºC | 30 min |
Epoxy resin with CNTs | 120ºC | 4h30min |
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite | Curing process: 1) 6 h at 40ºC, 2) ramp up to 1ºC/min up to 80ºC, 3) 5 h at 80ºC, 4) ramp up to 132ºC, 5) 2 h at 132ºC and 6) cool down to room temperature | |
