Discussion

Development of a spur gear system improves functionality-graded materials via material extrusion, indicating challenges in delivery.

The spur gear system shows potential in producing functionality-graded materials with a well-defined mixing process.
Simulation results indicate that downforce is insufficient for properly delivering molten PLA at the print head.
Material extrusion is the most common additive manufacturing technique for producing components responsively.
PLA serves as an excellent base material due to its biodegradability and biocompatibility properties.

Zakarıa et al. (2025) studied this question.
