Recently, 3D printing techniques for the polymer-based part has become popular in the industry and academic area. Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is one of the most popular methods among 3D printing techniques because of its low cost, ability to fabricate objects with complex structures and geometries, specific functions, ease in processing, safety, reliability, and availability of various thermoplastic materials. This technique’s application is widespread on the electronic application, medical application, and rapid tooling applications. This paper aims to review fused deposition modelling (FDM) 3D printed polymer-based composite techniques for thermal management applications. This paper will provide an overview of fused deposition modelling (FDM) techniques in 3D printing, conducting polymer base and conducting nanofiller additive material used, and current trend research in this area.
