Abstract
AbstractThe article will explore a potential additive manufacturing approach for combining two distinct thermoplastics, ABS and PMMA. The obtained piece can be produced up of two parts: the lower half is made of ABS, while the upper part is based on PMMA. Given that the assembly is meant to be used on an automobile's exterior, it must be resilient to air and water. Both types of thermopolymers—ABS and PMMA—must be used in a range of lighting applications, including automotive lighting, to lower prices and improve lamp performance. Although PMMA and ABS are different materials, they are compatible and are frequently bonded together.
