I tried tensile testing with a carbon 3D printed model!

I tested the performance of a carbon 3D printed model with a tensile test!

"Mitarepo" is a series based on the concept of "I tried doing this!" where we introduce what can be done using various products. From the wide range of product categories handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. The theme of Vol. 28 is "We tried tensile testing with carbon 3D printed models!" This time, we conducted tensile tests using models created with the carbon 3D printer "Anisoprint Composer" to investigate the actual strength of models containing carbon material. We created two types of test specimens: 1) Carbon fibers arranged perpendicular to the tensile direction 2) Carbon fibers arranged parallel to the tensile direction We are examining how much strength these two models possess and the difference that fiber orientation makes. "Are carbon printed models really strong?" "What should I be careful about when using carbon fiber?" We will explain the actual strength and important points of interest, along with verification photos and comments from our technical staff. *You can download the materials from the button below.
