3D printing by Fused Deposition Modeling - FDM technology - with PETG type filament in horizontal position

In this work, it is proposed to realize by 3D printing, which is an additive manufacturing process using Fused Deposition Modeling - FDM - some samples using PETG type filament. The position in which printing is performed is variant A corresponding to the horizontal position. 3D printing has more and more applications in all industrial fields and is a modern additive manufacturing process. Among the many advantages of using this process are the use of a digital model in the design phase, a very high material efficiency in the execution phase as well as a significant reduction in the costs related to the tools and equipment required. Another advantage that must be taken into account very seriously, in this case of industrial speed, is the time elapsed from the idea to the realization of the prototype. Using 3D printing, it is possible to optimize the design from the design phase, making the finished product with minimal losses. In this context it is important to make a study on the positions of printing the landmarks, in the case of this work of the specimens, to determine the mechanical properties as well as the displacements and internal stresses that occur due to several types of stresses.
