Strength Evaluation of Three Dimensional Printer Model Using Metal-Containing PLA Resin

- Application to Tribo material -

Abstract

Recently, the number of resin parts used for bearings and gears is on the rise, and two kinds of ABS resin and PLA resin are mainly used as 3D printer molding material. Although metal-containing PLA resin has been developed in recent years, there are few research examples on this material, so we evaluate the strength of ABS, PLA and metal containing PLA for the purpose of evaluating the mechanical performance on the material.
