Description
Summary:Recent developments in 3Dprinting are attracting wide spread interest due to easily accessible withlower cost. The present paper aims to investigate printing occupancy rateseffect on mechanical properties and surface roughness of PET-G (PolietilenTereftalat Glikol) material products. Pet-G material was preferred because ofits malleability,colorability and mechanical properties. PET-G products were printed atdifferent printing occupancy rates (20%, 50% and 80%) at processing speed of 45mm/s and all other operating parameters fixed at the same conditions on 3Dprinter. Uniaxial tensile tests, hardness measurements and surface roughnessmeasurements of the printed products were carried out. The results wereanalyzed and compared.
