Abstract
Fused deposition or fused layer additive manufacturing is a technique in which a part is fabricated layer by layer using filament or pellets-form input material. The extruder is the central part of the fused deposition additive manufacturing (FDAM) system. The extrusion mechanism is unique to the geometry and form of the feedstock material. Extrusion of filament-form material through the nozzle needs to design of a material feeding mechanism based on various filament extrusion parameters. At the same time if the material is in the form of pellets, then the design of the feeding mechanism is very different due to the shape and size of the pellets. These two different design strategies for material extrusion namely the design of the feeding mechanism of filament and pellets form materials have been a major concern to avoid unwanted deformation of extruded materials in FDAM. These two design strategies for filament and pellet-form materials have led to the development of several material extrusion strategies. The present paper reviews various material extrusion strategies developed for FDAM of filament or pellets form input material. This article presents the review of design, development, performance evaluation, and process planning for each extrusion strategy. Based on the literature review authors have suggested a possible extrusion method that can accept both forms of materials to fulfill the need for the filament as well as pellets-based additive manufacturing.
