ABLE TO PULL POLYLACTID ACID (PLA) MATERIAL ANET ET4 3D PRINTING MACHINE PRODUCT RESULTS

Abstract

A 3D Printing machine is a machine that is capable of printing objects in 3 dimensions, made layer by layer by melting/melting a predetermined material. The material used to make specimens is Polylactic Acid (PLA) filament which has good strength and is easily decomposed in the environment. The resulting specimens were subjected to tensile tests with 3 different thickness variations, namely 2 mm, 3 mm and 4 mm. The results from the tensile test of the 2 mm thickness specimen had the greatest results of up to 43.29 MPa because the layers of the specimen were denser than the 3 mm and 4 mm specimens.
