Abstract

Using additive manufacturing to create mechanical models could be challenging. To achieve successful mechanical models using additive manufacturing, various factors such as material selection, design optimization, and printing constraints must be carefully considered. These factors play a crucial role in ensuring the functionality and structural integrity of the printed mechanical models. Several tests and experiments have been conducted to study the mechanical properties and performance of additive manufactured parts. challenges include specimen shape and printing parameters emerged as key factors influencing the mechanical properties of additive manufactured parts. Furthermore, the microstructure of the printed parts and its relationship to mechanical properties is still not fully understood. Therefore, further research and development are needed to improve the understanding of these factors and optimize the additive manufacturing process for creating mechanical models with enhanced functionality and structural integrity. In order to thoroughly understand and optimize the mechanical properties of additively manufactured parts, it is essential to conduct mechanical tests to assess these properties.
