Abstract :In recent years, there has been an outbreak of research on natural fiber-reinforced materials to reduce non-recycled material effects and produce environmentally friendly products. In parallel with the increasing popularity of additive manufacturing, the development of new natural fiber-reinforced materials in this field has also increased to improve pure material characteristics and reduce raw materials usage. This study presents the manufacturing process of %5 waste jute-reinforced PLA filaments and the characteristics of 3D printed parts. For the production of jute-reinforced filaments, polylactic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PLA); granules were pulverized to increase the material surface for better bonding between materials in the composite matrix structure. The effectiveness of pulverizing PLA granules was exposed by comparing it with the production of the same composite matrix with PLA granules. Both matrices were formed into filaments to produce 3D parts in Fused Filament Fabrication technology. Thermo-gravimetric analysis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TGA); and differential scanning calorimetry insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DSC); will be presented in filament form. Besides, the mechanical properties of 3D parts will also be presented. Within the scope of the study, it is aimed to reveal the material size effect for producing natural fiber-reinforced filaments for additive manufacturing.
