Investigation of Tensile Strength Performance of 3D Printed PLA, ABS and PET-G Materials for Various Industrial Applications

Objective of this paper is to investigate and compare the tensile strength of three commonly used 3D printing materials i.e. Poly Lactic Acid (PLA), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), and Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PET-G) for various industrial applications. Tensile strength is a critical mechanical parameter, especially in applications subject to stretching forces. Through experimental testing, the tensile strength of each material was determined. The results revealed distinct mechanical behaviors among the materials, providing valuable insights for material selection and process optimization in additive manufacturing. This research contributes to advancing the understanding of the mechanical performance of 3D printed materials and informs practical applications in various industries.
