Additive manufacturing is gaining greater and greater popularity in the last few years, with fused deposition modelling (FDM) becoming an accessible tool for rapid prototyping with plastic-based materials. Due to its building process, the mechanical properties of 3D-printed objects are substantially different from those of the same object of the same material, but obtained by a different manufacturing process, i.e. injection molding. In this paper, we investigate the results of tensile tests on 3D-printed specimens made of various plastic and composite materials.

Abstract

Additive manufacturing is gaining greater and greater popularity in the last few years, with fused deposition modelling (FDM) becoming an accessible tool for rapid prototyping with plastic-based materials. Due to its building process, the mechanical properties of 3D-printed objects are substantially different from those of the same object of the same material, but obtained by a different manufacturing process, i.e. injection molding. In this paper, we investigate the results of tensile tests on 3D-printed specimens made of various plastic and composite materials.
