dc.description.abstract3D printing technologies offer numerous advantages and have attracted the attention of researchers recently. Yet, the most commonly preferred additive manufacturing system is the extrusion-based process that is called fused deposition modeling (FDM) as it is simple, low cost, and prone to customization. In this paper, the effects of the short-term aging of the additively manufactured PLA and ABS specimens were investigated experimentally. The test specimens were aged by keeping them at ambient temperatures of - 80, - 20, 60, 100 degrees C for 10, 20, and 30 days. Thermally aged specimens and the pristine specimens were forced to fracture with bending load at room temperature. Thus, the permanent effects of thermal aging of the specimens were investigated utilizing the load-deflection curve, plane-strain fracture toughness, and the morphologies of fracture surfaces. It was concluded that the printed PLA materials are more susceptible to the thermal aging than the ABS printed materials. The contraction and expansion of the fused polymer filaments affect directly the bonding strength between the adjacent layers. Therefore, plane-strain fracture characteristics of the FDM polymer materials exposed to thermal aging differ according to the filament orientation and the aging time.
