Comparison of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ quality prints using 50 wt% BaTiO3/ABS polymer composite.
(a) A photograph of a typical good print (left) and a bad print (right) indicates that, externally, the prints appear largely similar. (b) A typical X-ray tomography image shows relatively little voiding in the good quality sample, whereas a corresponding typical image for the bad quality sample shows a relatively high level of voiding. The tomography slices show planes that are vertical with respect to the orientation shown in the photograph. The bad quality print is shown for illustration only and all other data reported in this Article concern good prints of the quality shown in (b). Scale: cubes are 1 cm3.
