- Abstract
In this work the tensile strength of parts build with the fused deposition modelling process is studied. ABS and ABS plus parts were built with different building parameters and tested according to the ISO 527 standard on a tensile test machine. It was found that the building direction does not significantly affect the tensile strength of the parts, although the parts were anisotropic. Parts build with larger layer thickness showed lower tensile strength. The average deviation between nominal and experimental tensile strength was about 5% for ABS and about 40% for ABS plus. ABS plus specimens had on average 15% higher strength than ABS. The fracture surface of selected specimens was examined under a SEM, to determine failure mode of the filament strands.
