Deformation Test of 3D Printed Battery Case Using DIC Technology

The study demonstrates the evaluation of various 3D-printed 18650 battery housings. The GOM Aramis measurement system performs real-time deformation analysis of the housings during testing. Using Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) technology and various polylactic acid (PLA) materials, battery housings are 3D printed using Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM). Additionally, different layout designs will be investigated. The research's primary objective is to evaluate the suitability of the measuring system and the printing technology. In addition, the paper describes the raw materials used, preparation techniques, measuring system, and measurement outcomes.
