Abstract

The paper provides an overview of studies carried out in the field of obtaining functional materials the FDM printing method. Data on the influence of the type of polymer matrix, filler composition, and FDM printing technological modes on the functional and physical-mechanical properties of composites are presented. It is shown that the technology of layer-by-layer hot-melt printing makes it possible to obtain polymeric materials with electrical conductivity from 10-2 to 1.4·105 S/m, to increase the thermal conductivity to 0.9 W/(m∙K), and to manufacture magnetoplastics. It is noted that to obtain a high level of functional properties, it is required to use polymer matrices with a degree of filling of 5–75 wt %, which inevitably leads to a significant change in the physical and mechanical properties and heat resistance of the material. Possible directions for further research in this area are indicated.
