Analysis of the mechanical properties of plastic parts realized by 3D printing

This bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of mechanical quantities of PET-G samples which were created by using 3D printing. The problem was solved experimentally. The samples were printed by using the FDM technology (Fused Deposition Modeling). Mechanical properties were measured by the tensile test and the measured quantities were further analyzed statistically. The influence of the pigment, the material manufacturer and the effect of setting the process parameters on the actual construction of the samples were investigated. On the basis of the carried out analyses it was discovered that the samples printed horizontally in the XY plane with a 45° / -45° fill angle from Devil Design had the best mechanical properties
