ENGINEERING 3D Print Lab Prepared by Robert Bond Prepared for Professor Lysinger 3D Print Lab GTEC 104 MET- HACC Date of Experiment 2023-04-19 Date of Submittal 2023-04-24
Summary: (a) Objective: The goal of this lab was to test the tensile strengths of different types of plastics that are commonly used in 3D printers. (b) Conclusions: Each plastic has different qualities that make it more or less attractive based on what the plastics are going to be used for. (c) Recommendations: N/A Results: A total of 11 3D printed specimens were tested and then the tensile strength of each specimen was tested.
