Abstract

The work aims to research and develop a high valued sustainable rosewood/PES composite as packaging material, for the purpose of adapting to the global sustainable developing trends of high efficiency, energy saving, low carbon emission and environmental compatibility, and complying with the requirement of high-end individual custom carton. Laser sintering of 3D printing technology was selected as the advanced prototyping technology to produce individual custom packaging product with complex structure. Combined with mechanical testing and microstructure characterization, the sintered part’s properties and the effect of processing parameters on the properties were studied. Rosewood/PES composite powder compositions had an even distribution, and good flowability during spreading. The sintered part possessed natural rosewood appearance and aroma. The interface between wood fiber and PES was formed through mechanical interlock. The sintered part had good mechanical strength and forming accuracy. The tensile strength and bending strength of sintered parts reached the peak of 4.88 and 7.87 MPa at a laser power of 9 W, respectively. Rosewood/PES composite has been shown to be extremely processable when applied in laser sintering and it realizes the high added-value utilization of the remainder of precious material processing. 3D printing can enable the design and prototyping of high-end custom packaging product with complex structure.
