Investigation of the Strength Characteristics of Samples Made of Nylon by FFF Technology

Abstract

Additive manufacturing of polymer products over the past decade has become widespread in various areas of industry. Using the FFF method, one of the most technologically simple methods of additive manufacturing, it is possible to produce parts from a large number of different materials, including wear-resistant nylon. This article reflects the process of manufacturing samples from nylon using FFF technology with various internal topologies, as well as tensile tests. The analysis of the obtained results is performed and the relationship between the structure of the sample and the limit of its strength is established. The FFF method is promising for developing methods for producing composite materials. The results of this article can be useful in choosing the necessary manufacturing parameters.
