ASSESSMENT OF EXTRUSION TEMPERATURE AS A CONTROL PARAMETER FOR REDUCING VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND EMISSIONS IN FUSION DEPOSITION MODELLING 3D PRINTING

Sharara Simbarashe   (Ph.D. Student Moscow State Technological University “Stankin” )

Fused deposition modelling 3D printing with common polymers like ABS and PLA releases volatile organic compounds, which raises notable environmental and health concerns. Adjusting extrusion temperature is a frequently attempted method for minimizing these emissions, but its actual effectiveness as a primary control strategy has not been thoroughly examined. In this study, sensitivity analysis, dynamic simulations, and hands-on experiments were conducted to evaluate temperature control’s potential for reducing volatile organic compounds emissions. The results obtained show that temperature adjustments alone face some real limitations. Thermal inertia slows system responses, while inconsistent sensitivity across temperature ranges limits practical control. Even more, lowering the temperature too much can seriously undermine print quality. Ultimately, these findings suggest that simply relying on temperature adjustments is insufficient for effective emission reduction. Alternative approaches, like modifying extrusion speed or implementing active ventilation, should be considered for more sustainable emission management in fused deposition modelling printing.

Keywords:Volatile organic compounds, three-dimensional printing, layer-by-layer deposition, Arrhenius equation, sensitivity analysis.
