Novel mechanical models of tensile strength and elastic property of FDM AM PLA materials: Experimental and theoretical analyses

In order to develop FDM additive manufacturing and promote the application of this technology, the essential mechanical properties including tensile strength and elastic property of PLA material fabricated by FDM additive manufacturing are studied deeply this time. Two novel theoretical models have been built to predict the tensile strength and Young's modulus of FDM additive manufacturing PLA material with different printing angles and layer...
