Abstract
Additive manufacturing is a cost-effective and widely used process that is currently being researched by numerous researchers to maximize its potential for producing better products, particularly in the manufacturing sector. Nowadays, many types of waste such as plastic waste that is derived from petroleum-based polymer such as PET become threat to the environment due to their non degradable property. Thus, to overcome this concern recycling of waste material is one of the promising solutions. Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate (rPET) as matrix are combine with sugar palm fiber (SPF) to develop 3D printing filament material. Currently, SPF is not being used to its full potential, particularly in additive manufacturing. SPF's appealing qualities, such as high durability and ease of processing, would be extremely advantageous in the field of additive manufacturing. Thorough understanding of SPF qualities and behaviour is required in order to fully employ SPF in the development of 3D printing filament. SPF works as a reinforcing agent, which is a crucial feature in improving the composites that are being developed in combination with the rPET. This natural fibre and recycled polymer matrix are expected to improve the thermostability, lightweight, strength, and transparency of the filament material while also contributing to waste reduction in the environment.
