Recently, as the interest in 3D printing technology has increased, many efforts have been initiated to apply 3D printing technology to various industrial fields. The 3D printing technology is also widely applied in medical, electronics, and apparel industries. Many studies on 3D printing have focused on equipment and material development. However, to use 3D printed components, it is necessary to understand friction and wear phenomenon that will occur during relative motion between two bodies. In this study, friction and wear characteristics of ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)-like resin printed with the SLA (Stereo Lithography Apparatus) method were studies by using pin-on-disk and ball-on-disk methods. We also compared friction and wear characteristics between ABS-like resin-SUS304 and ABS-like resin-ABS-like resin. As a result, the relative motion between the ABS-like resin and SUS304 showed lower friction coefficient and wear amount than between the ABSlike resins. Markedly high frictional heat was observed because of the friction by the relative motion between the ABS-like resins. Experimental results show that further research on suitable lubricants is required to use 3D printed ABS-like resin parts as mechanical components.
