Abstract

3D Printing has become a popular additive manufacturing method for fabricating various components, both in industry as well as at the hobbyist level. While it is often used for prototypes or decorative trinkets, it is increasingly being used to create structural components. Inherent to 3D printing, parts are built in discrete layers and this results in a certain amount of structural uncertainty in the form of discontinuities, voids, and poor inter-layer bonding. This research explores the differences in the ultimate strength and fatigue life for 3D printed acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) components built by various build/layer orientations and construction parameters using tensile and rotating bending tests. SN fatigue curves and material strengths are reported.
