Layer adhesion has a number of solutions. But really it is more of a DFAM issue from people attempting to 3D Printe injection molded designs that don't have the needed cross sectional area to compensate
george.graves  3:59 PM
May we ask where your engineering degree is from?
Thomas Shaddack  3:59 PM
Would PCTG solve the layer adhesion for PETG? What materials have the best/worst adhesion?
ISO would be more the entity to drive standards. But the tech is still so fragmented that they can't nail it down. It is an unprecendents quantification problem
Thomas Shaddack  4:00 PM
Now the question is what's worse - more time without de-iure standards, or premature standardization.
I went to Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. Mechanical Engineering - Robotics
Premature standardization is worse.
george.graves  4:01 PM
Graduate or attended?

If there was a laser coupled with nozzle preheating previous layer at the point of contact with gooey thread from the nozzle, I guess the fusion between layers would be stronger
TPU is the best for layer adhesion. Filament manufacturers should just make a high stiffness TPU and drop basically every other material. It is a perfect material in basically every relevant way
Thomas Shaddack  4:04 PM
@george.graves I never saw a job where paper credentials were more important than real results. Why is this "important"?
Nicolas Guilbert  4:04 PM
So you mainly print TPU?
@george.graves I was the top graduate in my year.
Dan Maloney  4:05 PM
Whoop - we're past the top of the hour now. We've got to let Gabe get back to work if he needs to, but of course we can keep going too. I'm easy ;-) Either way, I just want to say a big thanks to Gabe and Chris for hanging out today and opening our eyes to what it means to scale up to mass production. Really interesting challenges!
We print in whatever material the client needs that comes in a spool.
Thanks @Dan Maloney
Thank you everyone who stopped by. Good talking with you.
Nicolas Guilbert  4:06 PM
Thank you!

Thanks @Slant 3D - Gabe Bentz ! Great conversation! Thanks @Dan Maloney and hackaday for continuing to be awesome!
Thanks!!!!
Dan Maloney  4:06 PM
Thanks Gabe! And thanks to everyone for the great questions and interesting discussion
salec  4:06 PM
Thank you Gabe and Chris
Slant Media  4:07 PM
Thanks guys!
Thanks @Dan Maloney , @Slant 3D @Slant Media . good hackchat!
Dan Maloney  4:07 PM
Thanks all!
Thomas Shaddack  4:07 PM
Do you work with nylons/polyamides? What are the most common problems with them?
Carlo Clores  4:07 PM
thanks guys
Thomas Shaddack  4:07 PM
...thanks, too!
