IMPROVED ADHESION OF FDM PRINTED LAYER TO A METAL PART

The invention provides a method for providing a composite object (400) comprising a 3D printed part (1) adhering to a metal part (420), wherein: the method comprises the step of providing the metal part (420) followed by a 3D printing stage comprising layer-wise depositing 3D printable material (201) by means of fused deposition modeling on the metal part (420), to provide the composite object (400); wherein the 3D printed part (1) comprises a layer (322) of 3D printed material (202); the 3D printing stage comprises guiding the 3D printable material (201) through a printer nozzle (502) at a nozzle temperature TN; during a first 3D printing stage of the 3D printing stage, wherein 3D printable material (201) is deposited on the metal part (420), the following applies: (i) the 3D printable material (201) comprises first 3D printable material (2011) comprising a thermoplastic material (401) and metal particles (410); wherein metal (411) of the metal particles (410) has a melting temperature TP, and (ii) TN>TP.
