Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This theoretical paper presents a comprehensive review of the promising prospects offered by the integration of non-Newtonian fluids in 3D printed parts to enhance impact resistance. Non-Newtonian fluids exhibit unique rheological behavior, and their ability to alter mechanical properties makes them an intriguing candidate for reinforcing 3D printed objects. The paper delves into the underlying principles of non-Newtonian fluid mechanics and how these fluids can be effectively utilized to augment the impact resistance of 3D printed structures. By surveying recent advancements and emerging applications, this review explores the potential benefits and challenges associated with the incorporation of non-Newtonian fluids in additive manufacturing. Furthermore, it offers valuable insights into the design, material selection, and manufacturing processes crucial for achieving robust, impact-resistant 3D printed components. This paper aims to provide a foundation for further research and development in the field, shedding light on the transformative possibilities of non-Newtonian fluid reinforcement in 3D printing.
