Cover Story: A new manufacturing process has been developed to produce plastic-based composites using thermally activated materials. This process is termed composite plastic manufacturing (CPM), and is an integration of two material extrusion additive manufacturing technologies, i.e., fused filament fabrication and syringe extrusion (equipped with a heat chamber). Various composites have been manufactured and tested to establish the viability of the new process through comparative experimental analysis, involving ultrasonic, tensile, microstructural, and hardness tests. The parts manufactured by CPM showed superior mechanical properties compared to commercially available filament materials (PLA and graphene-enhanced PLA) in the range of 10.4 to 29.8% for tensile strength and 8% to 24.6% for hardness.
