摘要：To obtain the deeper knowledge about the mechanical behaviour of 3D printed polymeric materials it is necessary to study the material properties from the beginning to the end. The commonly processed polymeric materials (via injection moulding etc.) are already deeply studied and evaluated, but 3D printed specimens in the various orientation build are not yet. In this study the tensile impact test specimens were fabricated via a desktop material extrusion 3D printer Zortrax M200 processing ABS and HIPS in build orientation XY. The 3D printed tensile impact test specimens were examined to compare the effect of layer thickness. Impact pendulum Zwick HIT50P was used for tensile impact tests according to ISO 8256 standard. Optical microscopy was utilized to perform fractography on impact test specimens to explore the effect of the layer thickness on the fracture surface morphology of the failed specimens. This study demonstrates the need for material testing for specific processing as additive manufacturing technologies.
