Abstract:The research conducted aimed to investigate the effect of varying print orientation and infill density on the mechanical properties of different 3D printed polymer specimens by conducting tensile tests. The Stratasys Fortus 900mc Material Extrusion printer was used to produce multiple samples of different materials, namely, Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA), Nylon 12, Nylon 12 Carbon Fibre, ULTEM 1010, and ULTEM 9085 which were subjected to tensile tests according to the ASTM D638 standard. Samples were pri… Show more
