Abstract
Abstract
Polylactic acid (PLA) is extensively used as a raw material in fused deposition modeling (FDM)-based three-dimensional printing (3DP), owing to its abundant resources, simple production processes, decent biodegradability, and adequate mechanical strength. However, it has disadvantages such as poor toughness and straightforward bending deformation. Given the considerable application potential of PLA materials in FDM-based 3DP technology, herein, studies conducted over the last 5 years toward the enhancement of the characteristics of PLA for FDM are summarized. In particular, modification approaches (chemical or physical methods) that have been employed to improve the mechanical and processing attributes of PLA are discussed, along with the development of PLA composites with unique functionalities. The insights provided herein can help expand the scope of application of PLA composites in FDM-based 3DP for utilization in fields such as transportation, aerospace engineering, industrial equipment fabrication, consumer/electronic product manufacturing, and biomedicine/medicine.
