Comparison of Most Suitable 3D Printing Materials, Failure Testing of PLA and ABS and Experimental Testing of PLA by Instron Machine

Revolutionary changes to materials and structures are now possible with 3D printing, bringing concepts that you previously only imagined to reality. In conventional manufacturing processes, such as machining, material is typically removed. Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, is a breakthrough technology which fabricates components by adding material layer by layer from the bottom up. This allows for the creation of highly complex and previously unrealizable structures which have radically improved performance and capability such as high strength and low weight. Additionally, these technologies enable mass customization and rapid design iteration. For example, medical implants can be designed to fit a specific patient and rapidly printed. This research paper focus on properties of different 3D printing materials used and how to select a good material for specific purpose.
