The Evolution of Thermoplastic Raw Materials in High-Speed FFF/FDM 3D Printing Era: Challenges and Opportunities.
Review in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The evolution of thermoplastic materials has played a critical role in advancing high-speed Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) and Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing technologies. This study explores the performance and challenges associated with next-generation thermoplastics specifically designed for high-speed printing, such as high-speed PLA, ABS, and PETG, in comparison to conventional materials. A systematic analysis was conducted to evaluate the key parameters, including the mechanical properties, layer adhesion, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy, under varying high-speed printing conditions. The results reveal that high-speed thermoplastics, when coupled with advanced hardware and optimized motion control systems, achieve up to a 70% reduction in printing time without significant trade-offs in mechanical integrity or precision. Additionally, the study identifies challenges, such as increased thermal stresses, warping, and the need for precise cooling strategies, which can impact material performance at elevated speeds. Opportunities for future development are also discussed, including the design of novel polymer formulations and hardware innovations to further enhance the reliability and scalability of high-speed FFF/FDM printing. This work underscores the potential of adopting such advanced thermoplastic materials in the high-speed 3D printing era and highlights the critical interplay between material science and hardware engineering for achieving next-generation manufacturing capabilities.
