Abstract

The aim of using additive manufacturing technologies is to be able to produce a wide range of component designs on a single device, using a wide range of materials and minimizing material consumption. There are several technologies that work on different principles. The present article is focused on Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology, which is focused on the application of layers of semi-molten polymer. The advantage is the lower cost for obtaining of FDM device, but also the low operation cost. The output of production are complex components designed for prototyping, but also for final use. Due to the fact that there is requirement to produce parts also for final use, it is necessary to know the strength properties of the parts after production. Because the structure of parts volume is not homogeneous, it is not possible to subject it to conventional calculations and simulations, but it is necessary to take into account the specifics that are produced during production by FDM technology. The present paper shows the results of experimental determination of the tensile strength of manufactured parts. A series of samples with different properties was used on the FDM device and the tensile strength of the components was subsequently measured. The measured values ​​were compared and evaluated.
