| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing is one of the most promising techniques to manufacture various parts with complex geometry. It has been used in different industries to produce end user products. In 3D printing process, the part is made layer upon layer and the final geometry is formed. Without the post processing techniques, the obtained parts are anisotropic. Depends on the printing orientation, the mechanical properties can vary drastically from one printing orientation to another. In this study, we investigated the printing orientation and its effect on the mechanical properties of the part. The relation between the microstructure and mechanical properties and the involved mechanism has been investigated. |
