Numerical and experimental analysis of the application of traditional woodworking joinery on 3D printed parts

Additive manufacturing and 3D printing is becoming increasingly popular in various industries such as medical sciences, aerospace, automotive, and other industries where rapid prototyping and small quantity custom production are required. Compared to traditional manufacturing technologies, 3D printing has no additional cost for complexity and is easily adaptable to changes in the product. Still, product size limitation is usually its biggest disadvantage compared to traditional machining methods. This study presents the experimental and numerical analysis of assembly specimens connected without adhesives using Japanese traditional woodworking joinery methods. Specimens are made of polylactic acid (PLA) on a fused-deposition-modeled (FDM) technology 3D printer. Three-point flexural test was performed, and numerical analysis results are obtained to compare the performance of various joint types.
