Overview
The purpose of this project is to determine mechanical properties of polymer components printed with the open source RepRap Mendel 3-D printer. Standard test methods are to be used to gather accurate and acceptable test data. The results of the mechanical testing will be used for engineering analysis of parts designed to be created with the RepRap.
To Do
- Identify test standards
- Find available test facilities and equipment
- Literature review
Testing Standards
ASTM D638-10 Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Plastics
Test Specimen
